TEHRAN, Aug. 19 (MNA) – An attempt by Ukraine to carry out a terrorist attack using a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) against facilities in Moscow and the Moscow Region was foiled on Saturday afternoon, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"This afternoon an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by a fixed-wing UAV against targets on the territory of Moscow and the Moscow Region was foiled. The drone was detected in time by the air defense forces on duty, suppressed by means of electronic warfare and, having gone out of control, crashed in an unpopulated area near Putilkovo in the Krasnogorsk urban district," the news release reads.

The Defense Ministry said there were no casualties or damage, TASS reported.
