**Downing of 4 Drones**
Russian officials stated early Tuesday morning that the military shot down four Ukrainian drones near Moscow and over the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine. A reporter from Reuters in Odintsovo, near the Chastsy residential area west of Moscow where one drone was shot down, reported hearing four explosions after 3:00 AM local time (00:00 GMT). She added, "The windows were shaking." The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that there were no injuries in the latest attack. The Russian military downed one of the drones over Krasnogorsk, a city located outside the capital that hosts the Moscow region government. Videos and photos from the site, shared by Russian media outlet (Baza), showed broken windows in a high-rise building and debris on the pavement.
