Enemy drones confront Moscow's sky, with reports of three drones shot down by Russia, amidst Putin's preparations for the Victory Day parade.
In a surprising turn of events, Moscow braced for an unexpected interruption on May 6, 2025. Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, confirmed that three drones were shot down by Russian air defense as they approached the city. This incident unfolded just before Russia's annual Victory Day celebrations, which recognize the Soviet Union's triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II.
In the aftermath of the attack, the air traffic above Moscow, as well as several neighboring cities like Kaluga, Tambov, Yaroslavl, and Nizhny Novgorod, was temporarily restricted. An independent Russian Telegram channel, Astra, reportedly published a video and photos showing the wreckage of a drone, allegedly taken after the incidents.
Despite the Russian claims, the Ukrainian government has not yet offered any official comment regarding the reported drone attack. At the time of publication, the Kyiv Independent was unable to independently verify these assertions.
Overnight, there were reports of at least 19 drones targeting Moscow for the second consecutive night. This series of incidents led to the temporary suspension of flights at the city's international airports and enhanced security measures before Russia's Victory Day festivities.
According to multiple reports, the Moscow region was targeted by drones on two consecutive nights in early May 2025. This escalation resulted in hundreds of Ukrainian drones being fired at various Russian regions, and nearly a dozen areas experienced flight suspensions, prompting increased military responses. Nevertheless, Ukraine has not officially commented on its involvement in these particular attacks.
