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.

“without Russian meddling which began in 2014”
Actually Russian meddling began long before 2014. Remember, they attempted to assassinate the elected president of Ukraine in 2004, 10 years before the “color revolution” excuses the Putin water carriers always bring up.
“now approving direct attacks on Russia”
LOLOLOL. Russia approved those attacks when they decided to invade Ukraine.
So Energy facilities on Russia territory are “civilian infrastructure”.
And energy facilities in Ukraine are “military targets”.
**************************************************************
Yes, the energy facilities in Ukraine are civilian infrastructure which are military targets.
Just as the energy facilities in Russian territory are civilian infrastructure which are military targets.
Actually Russian meddling began long before 2014. Remember, they attempted to assassinate the elected president of Ukraine in 2004
Your right, I was referring to Russian "meddling" in Ukraine in 2014 with "little green men"-soldiers.
Why do all you neocons on here appear to be simpleminded fools? Is that just a coincidence, or is there more to it? Are you the same anti-Trumpers who vote for people like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Mitt Romney?
I am not at all sure. Putin is devious and desperate.
Correct.
Putin and his crowd are desperately trying any tactics including attacking their own to try and drum up support
That may float with the uneducated but those who know the root causes ain't buying your bull.
Victoria Nuland and her globalist co-conspirators overthrew the legitimately elected government in Ukraine. The puppet regime the globalists installed attacked ethnic Russians in Ukraine and armed up in defiance of agreements not to have enemies on Russia's borders.
Putin wasn't going to allow that.
You are the one who appears devious and desperate for your insane desire to start WWIII.
In 1938 the U.S. Army was smaller than Belgium’s. I would honestly and devoutly welcome that lost world. Unfortunately, men like Hitler and Putin will plunder and prey if free men do not stand up to them.
If you think Putin wouldn’t have attacked just because you’re nuts
The hatred between Russians and Ukrainians is long long
“Why do all you neocons on here appear to be simpleminded fools?”
I’m not the one who can’t think of a better insult than “neocon” to repeat for months and months on end even though it’s had zero impact.
“And so what!?”
Well, the truth still matters to some of us.
“direct attacks on Russia “
What is your problem with the special military operation ? Are you a neocon ?
It was actually that yapping French poodle, Macron, who first rattled the nuclear sabre in this conflict. Just reading the lines assigned to him in the globalist script, I suppose.
Huh?
Who came up with the new russian talking point?
Either you give putin whatever he wants or else...
...World War III.
Lead the way.
