Moscow was unexpectedly attacked by unidentified drones on the evening of October 26. Russian authorities traditionally reassured the public that everything had been shot down. Meanwhile, explosions were heard across the city, according to Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation and Russian media.
Kovalenko briefly wrote that Moscow was under drone attack but did not provide further details. Russian media, however, published numerous photos and videos from the capital. Loud explosions were reported, and plumes of smoke were rising in parts of the city. Panic spread among Moscow residents through local chat groups.
Russian channels claimed that a Ukrainian drone allegedly hit a high-rise building. However, this appears more likely to be the result of Russia's own air defense system, which has a history of striking its own buildings.
Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin insisted Russia's air defenses were successfully "repelling drone attacks." He did not comment on the visible smoke rising in the city.
Photos have already circulated online showing a Russian equivalent of Ukrainian fire groups. Russian soldiers in a pickup truck equipped with a machine gun were seen directly opposite the Kremlin.
Earlier on October 26, explosions were reported in the Moscow region near an airfield hosting Russian strategic aviation. The Shaikovka airbase, also home to strategic aviation, and Kaluga Airport in the Kaluga region were reportedly under attack.
Ukrainian forces also struck the Belgorod dam on October 26. The attack caused the dam to start leaking water. This left Russian forces near Vovchansk cut off from the main body of their army.

“ News Ukraine “
Yeah ok sure.
Huge amounts of water
Not sounds LOL
These are not the droids you are looking for.................
Imagine DC getting hit…
I remember when they first came out as toys, novelties.
Drones still sound Star Wars to me. Humanity is ingenious at finding new weapons to kill one another.
Probably most of Ukraine's apartment building attacks are the same thing.
A sound of water is a LOT.
Moscow is only 250 miles from the Ukrainian border. Easy peasy. Boston to Philly is 54 miles farther.
Funny how the media doesn't quite report it that way.
You may call propaganda all you like........do you still discount it when reported in The Moscow Times?
The headlines says 5 injured, the body of the story talks about much more.
Might want to look into the Moscow Times.
Don’t major news organs have reporters in capital cities of major countries?
India certainly has news organs. I would guess some of the South American countries have media located in Moscow. Why not get reports from them on presumption they are somewhat neutral. The Washington Post certainly has correspondents in Moscow. Al Jazeera has had a journalism presence in Moscow for many years. I don’t think Qatar has taken a position in that war so there would be no reason to suspect Al Jazeera to be biased.
I would guess most of the Middle East countries have journalism bureaus in Moscow. When all of them are reporting on vehicles with machine guns parked near the Kremlin then we might want to take that seriously but not until.
These two seem awful fond of killing each other. Too much to give it up any time soon.
