A drone that was likely targeting civilian infrastructure crashed near Moscow on Tuesday, a regional official said, after the defence ministry reported downing two Ukrainian drones in southern Russia.
The reported incidents are the latest in a series of suspected drone attacks in recent months inside Russia -- sometimes far from the border with Ukraine -- that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.
"As for the incident with the crash of a UAV in district of Kolomna... the target was probably a civilian infrastructure facility, which was not damaged," Moscow regional governor Andrei Vorobyov said in a statement, referring to unmanned aerial vehicles.
"There are no casualties or damage on the ground. The FSB (security services) and other competent authorities are investigating," Vorobyov said.
Authorities have not specified what infrastructure may have been targeted, but Russian energy giant Gazprom operates a facility near the village of Gubastovo, where the drone crashed.
Gazprom told Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti that its operations in the Kolomna region were operating uninterrupted.
"There were no emergencies due to the drone crash," its press service said in comments carried by RIA Novosti.

So Energy facilities on Russia territory are “civilian infrastructure”.
And energy facilities in Ukraine are “military targets”.
This is likely a case of Putin attacking Russia to gin up support for his unpopular war... Good luck with that Vlad. Your days are numbered.
Every day Ukros shell civilian areas in Donetsk. And often kill a few people.
Every day.
Absurd. You are so so deluded and brainwashed by western media.
There would be NO war in Ukraine without Russian meddling which began in 2014.
The neocons are desperate and are now approving direct attacks on Russia to force us into war before Biden’s term ends. Russia knows these attacks wouldn’t happen without the US’s acquiescence and assistance, and at some point may strike back at us directly. Don’t be surprised if a large section of our electrical grid goes down for an extended period of time next winter. Or our internet service goes down or a dozen other things Russia could easily do to sabotage our infrastructure. America is used to fighting wars on the other side of the globe, let’s see how they feel when that war is brought home. Because we are quickly reaching the point where that becomes likely to happen in the next phase of this war we are pushing with Russia.
That part.
It’s very simple. The US wants WW3. Once we are finished preparing for war with China, we will drop Ukraine like it never existed. So will the state media.
There is ample evidence that the US was preparing for war with Russia in Ukraine since before 2014. Some dating back to 2008.
But dream on in your world of western koolaid.
Another hot Canadian take on American foreign policy.
“America is used to fighting wars on the other side of the globe, let’s see how they feel when that war is brought home.”
We are probably going to discover how it feels this time.
That there are some on here who are actually cheering at the prospect of WW3 is mind boggling, these people are seriously not right in the head.
Putin’s insane attack on the Ukraine has nothing to do with American foreign policy. It has everything to do with short man syndrome and Putin’s yearning for the good old USSR.
Why on earth would Americans listen to a Canadian? You folks need to fix Trudeau before you go meandering around the world.
That’s the logic the putinistas use.
Right, so the US somehow tricked Putin to invade.
There is ample evidence that the US was preparing for war with Russia in Ukraine since before 2014.
And Russia has been at the same time preparing for war with the west. So what? That excuses Putin, breaking treaties and invading a neighboring country for territorial gain?
Care to post any of the propaganda....I mean ‘evidence’?
So, about the time Nobama took office.🤔
Armageddon insanity knows no bounds... Putin the midget is the jester who’s been touting it, and thankfully with little success. He does have his supporters though... It’s a good thing that none of them appear to be in control in Moscow, otherwise we’d already be burning.
Vlad made it an edict that he is to be ‘President for life’... Thankfully, his term will be much shorter lived than he thought it would.
