Russia claims Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow, other regions in a mass attack.

Editor’s note: This is a developing story and is being updated.
Dozens of drones reportedly targeted several Russian regions overnight on Sept. 1, including Moscow, Tver, Voronezh, Tula, Kaluga, Bryansk, Belgorod, Lipetsk, and Kursk, according to local officials.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that at least five drones were downed in the Russia’s capital region. No damage to civilian infrastructure or casualties were reported.
The Kyiv Independent could not immediately verify these claims.
Additionally, some 26 drones were shot down over the Bryansk region in southwestern Russia, the region’s governor, Alexander Bogomaz said via his official Telegram channel.  
More than 10 drones were destroyed over the Voronezh region and several more were downed over Lipetsk, Kaluga, Ryazan and Tula regions, governors of the regions said in posts on Telegram.
Two more were also downed in the Kursk region, which has been partially controlled by Ukraine, said the region’s acting governor, Aleksei Smirnov.
As Kyiv’s incursion into Kursk Oblast enters its fourth week, Ukraine reportedly controls over 1,290 square kilometers (500 square miles) and 100 settlements, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Aug. 27.
Officials said that there were no reported injuries or damage according to preliminary information.
In Belgorod Oblast, several houses, cars, and commercial properties were damaged after repelling an aerial attack, according to regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.
