Russian air defenses repelled over the night of August 31 and September 1 one of Ukraine’s largest drone attacks so far, shooting down over 150 suicide drones over Moscow and more than a dozen other regions of Russia.
In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that 46 drones were intercepted by air defenses over the Kursk region, 34 over the Bryansk region, 28 over the Voronezh region, 14 over the Belgorod region and eight over the region of Ryazan.
It added that tow more drones were shot down over the city of Moscow, seven over the Moscow region, five over the Kaluga region, four over the Lipetsk region, three over the Tula region, two over the Tambov region, two over the Smolensk region, one over the Oryol region, one over the Tver region and one over the region of Ivanovo.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that one of the drones downed near the city crashed near the Moscow Oil Refinery. As a result, one of the refinery’s buildings was damaged and a fire was reported following the attack, according to the Ria Novosti news agency. There were no reports of casualties.
The refinery, owned by Gazprom Neft, the oil division of Russian gas giant Gazprom, is located to the southeast of Moscow.
Three other drones targeted the Kashira Power Plant in the Moscow region, according to Mikhail Shuvalov, the head of the Kashira city district. The official said that the attack did not result in any fires, damage or casualties.
The Russian Baza Telegram news channel also reported that loud explosions were heard near the Konakovo Power Station in Tver, one of the largest energy producers in central Russia.
Astra, another Russian news channel on Telegram, reported two more fires in Tver close to a local gas distribution infrastructure.
The Kiev regime intensified its attacks on Russian territory in the last few months, even launching an invasion into Kursk early last August. This escalation had no impact on the situation within the special military operation zone, where Kiev forces continue to suffer heavy losses and lose ground.
The latest Ukrainian drone attack didn’t result in any meaningful losses, still the Russian military will likely respond within a few weeks, if not days.

look how the nazis are so weak, they use drones instead of missiles haha
well they are having effect. just see drone flying with impunity, everyone watching it fly into a russian refinery. ukraine army still in kursk. seems russia is struggling on home territory.
seems like the incursion was a failure. nato commanders took the bait when they saw an “open” corridor via satellite surveillance and now indispensable forces are being grinded down and their ability to hold & protect the donbass lines suffered as a result. they wound up worse than before. now you got 50k chechens doing a sweep operation. they’re done
clown show war..!
in kursk? they didn’t passed even lgov town.
derpy comment. drones are part of any modern army’s arsenal. cheap and effective.
but if you have drones only made out of agricultural planes, it shows you pathetic weakness. before 1991 ukrssr had antonov’s design bureau and plant (“aviant”) in kiev, “southern machine building plant” in dnepropetrovsk producing icbm, tank plant in har’kov, truck plant in kremenchug, automobile plant in zaporoje city, bus factory in l’vov and many more, but lost all except metal factories (for export). turkey since 1991 developed less technologies than rural reich lost.
brown outs in nato this winter.
time to go to kiev and take zelensky, or why not a bunker buster?
seriously!!!!
he is not in kiev. i think he spend more time somewhere in warsaw or london than kiev. clown of kiev loves foreign trips — he want to have any excuse to be far away from kiev as long as possible.
tit-for-tat clown show war..!
on the grounds of every violation of international law regarding declarations of war post wwii that the north american terrorist organization has signed and is responsible to uphold under geneva, when does russia finally acknowledge it is at war and that the west is breaking all of the “rules” as it continues to languish with it’s seat at the unsc and a capon’d veto in the wh0reh0u$e???
simple. the purpose of this war is to kill off the only males in europe with a will to fight.
“globalists are trying to escalate the ukraine war into wwiii before the us election” brandon smith al-market.us sure hope the russian federation isn’t in on it….
here’s how confident they are bae is the boss really boom supersonic works on its own engines, shows the overture you tube.
guess where they’ll be flying, with the eagles up amongst the craggy rocks described in the bible. up on the mountain of saints looking down upon the rivers of red flowing like lifelines in the living entities of corporate identities
