(Reuters) - Ukraine targeted Moscow with drone attacks for the second night in row, the Russian defence ministry and Moscow's mayor said on Tuesday 28 October 2025.
The Russian defence ministry said in a statement its air defence units destroyed seventeen Ukrainian drones overnight, including one flying towards Moscow and thirteen over the Kaluga region which borders the Moscow region to its northeast.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram that emergency services were dispatched to the site where the drone heading towards Moscow fell.
There were no reports of damage, but Russia rarely discloses the full-scale impact of Ukrainian strikes inside its territory unless civilians or civilian objects are involved.
Russia's air defence units destroyed the remaining three drones over the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine to its west and Kaluga region to its northeast.
Alexander Bogomaz, governor of the Bryansk region, said on Telegram that one civilian was hospitalised as a result of the attack.
Both sides deny targeting civilians, but thousands have died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian.
On Monday 27 October, Russia said it had downed 34 Ukrainian drones that were targeting Moscow.
