Russian regions bordering Ukraine like Belgorod have reported repeated attacks from Kyiv’s forces including occasional cross-border incursions.
Air defences destroyed three Tochka-U missiles over the region on Saturday morning, the Russian defence ministry said.
The mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, said there was “no damage or casualties” after air defence downed the drone over the district of Istrinsky.
Attacks on Russian territory, which were rare at the beginning of the offensive, have intensified in recent months, with Kyiv increasingly claiming responsibility.
