The drone that struck a residential building in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow, may have been launched by Ukrainian agents from within the Moscow region. This was stated to NEWS.ru by Hero of Russia, Aviation Major General Sergei Lipovoy.

He said that the possible launch site depends on the type of drone used. If it was a quadcopter, it was most likely assembled and launched by saboteurs operating in the Moscow region while posing as refugees. If it was a fixed-wing kamikaze drone, it could have been launched from the territory of Ukraine. Lipovoy noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces possess drones capable of covering distances of up to 1,500 kilometers.

The general suggested that if the drone was of the aircraft type and came from Ukrainian territory, it might have reached the Moscow region at extremely low altitude, using terrain folds for cover. He added that if the device hit the first residential building it encountered, it likely deviated from its course.

Earlier, the governor of the Moscow region, Andrey Vorobyov, said that a Ukrainian drone had attacked a residential building in Krasnogorsk, flying directly into an apartment. According to the authorities, five people were injured, including a child. Three adults with head injuries, fractures, and shrapnel wounds were taken to Krasnogorsk City Hospital No. 1, and the minor was sent to the Dr. Roshal Center with a knee dislocation and minor leg injuries.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on the night of October 24, air defense units intercepted and destroyed 111 Ukrainian drones over several Russian regions and the Azov Sea. According to the ministry, 34 and 25 drones were destroyed over the Rostov and Bryansk regions, respectively, and another 11 and 10 over the Kaluga and Novgorod regions.
