On 23 August 2023 at night, air defence forces foiled another attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by three fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles against the city of Moscow.

Two of the UAVs attacking the capital were destroyed by air defence forces in the air over the territory of Mozhaisky and Khimki districts (Moscow region).

The third UAV was suppressed by electronic warfare systems and, having lost control, collided with a building under construction in the Moscow City complex.

There were no casualties.
