Russia's on-duty air defence forces have destroyed another Ukrainian aircraft-type drone over the Istrinsky District in the Moscow Region, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, the ministry said that Russian air defence systems suppressed a Ukrainian drone by means of electronic warfare, adding that the drone crashed in the Moscow Region.
"On August 21, at 08:16 Moscow time [05:16 GMT], an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack with an aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle was thwarted. The Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle was timely detected and destroyed by the air defence forces on the territory of the Istra District of the Moscow Region," the ministry said in a statement.
Ukraine has been regularly sending drones into the Russian territory since it launched a counteroffensive in early June, as Kiev was unable to show any results on the battlefield.
