Three downed quadcopters were located in separate districts within the Moscow region, with one crash site positioned not far from where a Ukrainian drone had previously been reported in the Bogorodsk area. This information was conveyed by TASS, citing official sources connected to regional power structures.
On April 24, a drone crash site was discovered in the vicinity of SNT Ugolek, within the Bogorodsky urban district. The aircraft carried a camera and microphone and bore no identifying marks. Officials described the presence of potential explosives to the agency, underscoring concerns about the device’s capacity and purpose. The discovery prompted immediate security and investigative responses, and the incident was documented by authorities as part of ongoing monitoring in the border region.
Authorities reported that two additional drones of a similar type were found in other sections of the Moscow region on the same day. Investigators stated that all found quadcopters have been sent to examination facilities for forensic analysis, with efforts underway to identify their owners and determine the intent behind their deployment. The investigations aim to establish whether these devices were part of coordinated activity or separate incidents, and to assess any potential threat to public safety.
Former head of the Bogorodsk city district, Igor Sukhin, confirmed that the drones had crashed within municipal borders. According to TASS, the drones are described as originating from Ukraine, capable of flight ranges up to 900 kilometers, and equipped with explosive payloads. One report suggested that at least one drone could be used to facilitate real-time adjustments or transmissions for other unmanned systems, though investigators are approaching such considerations cautiously while awaiting forensic results. The focus remains on ensuring accurate attribution, understanding the technical capabilities of the devices, and evaluating any connection to broader security operations in the region.
