Moscow, Russia Moscow residents reported hearing a loud explosion at around 11 am across the city — in the Troparyovo-Nikulino district to the SW, the Lyubertsy area to the SE, & Zelenograd to the NW. Citing eyewitnesses, Rosbalt reported that the sound was especially loud in SW Moscow & that some Konkovo residents felt a shock wave. The Moscow branch of the Emergency Situations Ministry told the news outlet Podem it had no information yet about the explosion. “We know about this situation, but there are no signs of either smoke or fire, nothing at all. […] We heard it too, but it’s unclear where or what it was.” The Russian security services-linked Telegram channel Baza claimed preliminary information pointed to an aircraft breaking the sound barrier in the region as the cause of the sound. A source close to emergency response services told the Russian business news outlet RBC the same thing. https://meduza.io/amp/en/news/2026/08/07/loud-unidentified-explosion-heard-across-moscow
