No words… it landed near the [river] lock. God help us, what a nightmare.' Moscow mayor Sergey Sobyanin said: 'An attempt was made to fly over the city by one drone. As a result of the air defence work, it was eliminated. No-one was hurt when debris fell in the area of Karamyshevskaya embankment. There are no serious damages. Emergency services are on the site.' Despite this one woman reported: "There was quite an explosion. My window up on the 10th floor cracked. I screamed, my window cracked."
