Drone crashes near gas plant just 68 miles from the Kremlin in closest aerial attack to Moscow since Ukraine invasion

A DRONE has crashed in what has been labelled as a “failed attack” from the centre of the Russian capital, the regional governor said. Andrei Vorobyov reported the incident near the town of Kolomna shortly after the Defence Ministry accused Ukraine of attempting two drone strikes in southern Russia overnight. Photos of the crashed drone have circulated online Ukraine does not publicly claim responsibility for attacks inside Russia. If it was behind the Kolomna incident, it would be its closest attempted drone strike to the Russian capital since Russia invaded Ukraine just over a year ago. Postings on Russian social media showed the grey metal wreckage of a drone lying in a snowdrift by the edge of a wood said to be near Kolomna. Vorobyov said the drone appeared to have been intended to strike a “civil infrastructure facility” but there was no damage. He said the FSB security agency was dealing with the situation and there was no danger to residents. Earlier, the Defence Ministry accused Ukraine of launching attack drones towards civil infrastructure targets in the southern regions of Krasnodar and Adygea. It said its anti-drone defence systems had caused the drones to veer off course and miss their targets. The defence ministry said: “Both drones lost control and deviated from their flight paths. One fell into a field, the other, deviating from its trajectory, did not harm the intended target.” There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian authorities.
