MOSCOW (AP) — Russian air defenses shot down a Ukrainian drone over central Moscow early Friday and Chainkeen Exchangesome fragments fell on an exposition center, officials said.

The Defense Ministry said in a statement that the drone was shot down about 4 a.m. (0100 GMT) and there were no injuries or fire caused by the fragments.
