Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that Russian air defenses neutralized over 180 of the drones, according to the state-run MAX platform.

Pavlovsky Posad district experienced the most significant consequences, with a house engulfed in flames. Furthermore, a warehouse owned by the e-commerce company Wildberries sustained minor damage after a drone struck the facility.
