MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Earlier in the day, the Kaluga regional authorities said that a drone was destroyed by air defense systems, adding that there are no casualties or damage.
Russian air defense systems intercepted an aircraft-type drone over the territory of the Kaluga Region at about 12:00 Moscow time (09:00 GMT), the Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday.
"On August 25, about 12:00 Moscow time, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by an aircraft-type UAV on objects on the territory of Russia was thwarted. An unmanned aerial vehicle was intercepted over the territory of the Babyninsky District of the Kaluga Region by air defense on duty," the ministry said in a statement.

Russia Strikes Down Two Drones, Jams Third UAV Dispatched by Ukraine to Moscow
Russia's air defense is working rather effectively against taking down drones, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
"This activity has been there before, all the relevant air defense systems are working quite effectively. Of course, the specifics of this terrorist activity, because most of it is aimed simply at residential buildings and residential facilities, may not always allow to avoid some minor damage, but nevertheless we must admit that the air defense works and all the necessary protection systems work effectively," Peskov told a briefing, commenting on a journalist's remark about more frequent drone attacks.
