Russian forces shot down a Ukrainian drone in a village where Vladimir Putin has a residence, according to reports.
The Russian defence ministry said air defences had brought down the unmanned aerial vehicle in the Tver region, northwest of Moscow.
Mash, a Russian media outlet, said the drone was destroyed in Zavidovo, a settlement home to a hunting residence belonging to the Russian president.
A purported video of the incident published online by Mash appeared to show a blast above an area of dense forest.
Sergei Sobyanin, Moscow’s mayor, confirmed that drone debris had fallen in Zavidovo.
There was no indication Putin was in the property at the time of the reported attack. Sobyanin claimed there were no casualties from the incident and said two other drones had been downed near the capital on Tuesday morning.
