##Mass Drone Attack on Moscow

On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Moscow was hit by a large-scale drone attack. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that Russian air defense systems had shot down over 60 drones. He did not report any casualties or damage.

The attack comes amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which has seen frequent drone strikes on Russian territory. This incident appears to be one of the largest recent assaults on the capital.

Sobyanin did not provide details on whether any drones reached their targets or caused destruction. It appears that Russian defenses managed to neutralize most of the threats. Residents were advised to remain calm and follow official updates.

The international community is closely watching the situation, as attacks inside Russia have become more common. However, no official claim of responsibility from Ukraine has been confirmed.

Local authorities continue to assess the situation, and heightened security measures are in place. Citizens are urged not to spread unverified information.
