Russian Military Thwarts Ukrainian Drone Attack on Moscow

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced its success in thwarting a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow. According to the Sputnik news agency, the Russian Ministry of Defense in a statement Friday (22/12/2023) said, "With the destruction of the Ukrainian drone, Kyiv's attempt to carry out a terrorist drone attack in the Moscow region was thwarted." "The drone attack did not cause any damage," said a Russian defense ministry statement. The Russian Defense Ministry some time ago announced that Moscow's air defense system shot down a Ukrainian army drone in the Belgorod region. After failing to receive advanced warplanes from the United States and other supporting countries, Ukraine is now hoping for drone strikes to compensate for its losses on the battlefield against Russia. Ukraine's Minister of Strategic Industries claimed Wednesday that the country's entire drone production capacity is ready to produce one million drones by 2024.(PH)
