MOSCOW, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Russia said on Friday that Ukraine had fired a missile towards Moscow and attacked the Crimean Peninsula with 42 drones, one of the biggest known coordinated Ukrainian air attacks to date on Russian-held territory. Russia's defence ministry said it had shot down a modified S-200 missile over the Kaluga region, which borders the Moscow region. "The missile was detected and destroyed by air defences over the territory of the Kaluga region," the defence ministry said. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the attacks, which Russia blamed on Ukraine. The attack were the latest in a surge of similar attacks since two drones were destroyed over the Kremlin in early May.

July 16 (Reuters) - Russia's defence ministry said its forces had prevented Ukraine from attacking the Black Sea port of Sevastopol on Sunday, destroying seven aerial and two underwater drones. It said that two aerial drones were shot down over the Black Sea at a great distance from the coastline, while five were intercepted by Russia's electronic warfare forces. Two unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), known as underwater drones were discovered in the northern part of the Black Sea, and destroyed by fire, the ministry said. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine on the attack on Sevastopol, a port in the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Ukraine almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia or on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine, but has been saying in recent months that destroying Russia's military infrastructure helps Kyiv's counteroffensive.

Russian authorities called the strike a "terrorist attack" consisting of seven aerial and two underwater drones. Two more underwater drones were detected and destroyed in the northern part of the Black Sea, according to Russian authorities. In April, Razvozhayev said via a Telegram message that Russia's naval base in Sevastopol was attacked by exploding sea drones.
