More than 430 drones were launched toward the Moscow region beginning on the evening of July 6, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said. Air defense forces neutralized a large portion of them at long range; 36 were shot down on approach to the city.
Flight restrictions were imposed overnight at all four Moscow airports: Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defense forces shot down 452 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions throughout the night.
Also on the evening of July 6, Belgorod acting Governor Alexander Shuvaev reported a Ukrainian missile strike on the region, saying a large portion of the projectiles were intercepted but that civilian infrastructure sustained damage.
Shuvaev initially reported three people injured. He soon reported a second missile strike and clarified that one civilian had been killed in the first attack, in the village of Belovskoye in the Belgorod district. A fire broke out at an infrastructure facility in Belgorod as a result of the strike, Shuvaev said, without specifying which facility.
