Despite claims of a successful interception, Russian media and officials report that drone debris fell on residential buildings. In Moscow, debris hit a high-rise apartment block on Vernadsky Avenue. According to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, there were no serious damages or casualties, and emergency services are working at the site.

Telegram channels indicate that the incident occurred near the “Mirax Park” residential complex, close to the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station. Local residents reported shattered windows in some apartments. The building’s facade was also reportedly damaged on several floors. A military academy of the Russian General Staff is located nearby.

In addition, in the Moscow suburb of Odintsovo, debris from another downed drone damaged several cars in a residential complex courtyard, according to the RIA Novosti news agency.

As of the morning, there has been no official comment from the Ukrainian side.
