Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday announced plans to update anti-missile defense systems in Moscow.
“This year we will complete the modernization of the anti-missile defense systems of the city of Moscow,” Shoigu said in an address to military officials, according to Agence France-Presse.
Moscow bolstering its defense systems comes after reports of Ukrainian drones allegedly entering inside Russia’s borders.
In late February, a drone crashed approximately 62 miles outside of Moscow, which a regional governor claimed was likely an attempt by Ukraine to strike civilian infrastructure.
Around the same time, Russia’s defense ministry also reported its forces had taken down two Ukrainian drones in southern Russia.
In early December, explosions were reported at two Russian air bases, which Russian officials later said was the result of Ukrainian drone strikes.
