Moscow, Russia And Crimea Are Massively Attacked By UAVs

Explosions occurred in the Tambov region, Sevastopol, near Moscow and not only.

Late in the evening of April 25 and after midnight, several Russian regions and occupied territories have declared an alert due to the threat of drones. Drones in particular are flying toward Moscow, with authorities claiming "falling debris."

A series of explosions and aftermath are also reported in Russia's Belgorod and Tambov regions, as well as in temporarily occupied Crimea. "Focus" has gathered everything that is known at the time of publication about the drone attack on Russia.

Attack on Moscow

At around 23:00 hours, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that Russian air defense allegedly destroyed a drone headed for the Russian capital. According to him, the fall of the drone's wreckage was recorded, and operational services went to the site.

Russian Telegram channels write that Moscow's Vnukovo airport was closed before this because of the threat of a UAV attack. "Rosaviatsia also imposed restrictions at airports in Nizhny Novgorod, Cherepovets and Yaroslavl."

Attack on Tambov region

A drone threat alert has also been declared in Russia's Tambov region. OSINT-channels write about drone activity in the Michurinsk area, where a fire was recorded outside the city after a series of explosions.

Analysts speculate that the Nikolskoye LPDS, a facility of the main oil product transportation system, could have been under attack.

"The station performs the functions of pumping and dispatch control of flows, receiving product from adjacent LPDS and refineries in Central Russia through the Druzhba system, after which it distributes it along the main lines in the direction of the domestic market of the Russian Federation and export routes through Belarus," OSINT-researchers note.

There was no confirmation of the attack on the facility at the time of publication.

Attack on Sevastopol

At around 11:30 p.m., the Telegram channel Crimean Wind reported a series of explosions in occupied Sevastopol and elsewhere in Crimea. Explosions also occurred near the Kacha and Belbek military airfields and Cape Fiolent.

Russian blogs say that a total of more than 10 drones were allegedly shot down in the skies above Sevastopol. Eyewitnesses count dozens of explosions in different neighborhoods, and also complain of bright flashes in the sky and active work of air defense.

The so-called governor of Sevastopol Razvozhayev confirmed the attack on the city. He said the city recorded alleged damage to residential buildings and at least two people were injured. Razvozhayev claims that 43 drones were allegedly shot down over different parts of Sevastopol.

In addition, analysts reported an attack on the Belgorod region, where a fire at an industrial facility went up after explosions.
