Explosions also thundered in Rublyovka.

On the night of Saturday, August 26, all Moscow airports stopped receiving and sending planes again, and the so-called “Carpet regime”, an emergency plan for incoming drones, was announced. Local authorities said that the capital of Russia was attacked by drones, according to obozrevatel.com.

Explosions were heard in the Istra district of Moscow, in the cottage settlement “Monolit” and in Rublyovka. Russian propaganda channels published videos showing the sound of a drone flying by, a loud explosion and a bright flash.

The Russians threw a tantrum online because of a new attack on Moscow.

“Istra district, “Monolit” cottage settlement, just the sound of a whistle and an explosion!”, “It banged loudly just a moment ago here, I live in Istra. There was a loud sound at 3:02”, “Explain what happened! I don’t understand anything”, “There is a drone in the suburbs!”, “Why don’t they write that the airspace over Moscow is closed? We are in Sheremetyevo, and have been unable to take off for 2 hours already!”, “I woke up to explosions”, “Two shots were heard”, “Explosions on Rublyovka!” people wrote on the internet.

Later, Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin announced the alleged “downing of an UAV” near the capital of the aggressor country.

“Tonight, air defense forces destroyed a drone on approach to Moscow in the Istra district. According to the preliminary information, there have been no casualties or damage. Emergency services are working at the scene,” Sobyanin said.

At the same time, airports are delaying planes for both arrivals and departures. The Russian media report that at least 24 flights have been delayed and eight canceled at Moscow's Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports.
