On the morning of July 4, the air defense system intercepted and downed two additional drones over New Moscow. Emergency services confirmed that four drones were brought down in the TiNAO district during the early hours. The same officials noted that no local residents suffered injuries as a result of the drone activity.
Two more drones were neutralized near the village of Krivosheevo in New Moscow, with no casualties reported, according to a spokesperson from the emergency services. The debris from one of the drones caused a fire in an outbuilding, an incident reported by the national news agency.
There were no fatalities linked to the drone strike. The city administration stressed that Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles operating in the Moscow region were intercepted by the air defense network, underscoring the readiness of the defense framework in the area.
In the TiNAO district, two drones were subdued early in the day, and another drone was reported in the Kaluga region. Reports also indicated that the suppression of two drones occurred near Valuevo, a village within New Moscow, through the use of electronic warfare measures intended to disrupt drone guidance and control signals.
This sequence of events follows public statements about new drone-suppression capabilities introduced by Russia, designed to enhance local defense against airborne threats and to minimize the risk to civilian populations.
The morning activity illustrates a broader pattern of heightened aerial security efforts around the capital and its surrounding territories. Authorities have emphasized continuous vigilance as drones and other airborne threats remain a focal point for regional security and emergency response planning.
Residents are urged to rely on official briefings for accurate information and to report any suspicious aerial activity to the appropriate authorities. The incident underscores the ongoing emphasis on rapid detection, interception, and containment of aerial threats within and near large urban centers, where the balance between defense readiness and civilian safety remains a priority.
