Fact-check: X searches returned no real-time posts about Moscow Mayor Sobyanin reporting the downing of 10 Ukrainian drones on March 5, 2026; recent X activity discusses similar incidents from late February but not this specific event. Web searches found the exact TASS article title matches a June 2025 report, with no current news confirming a new incident today. Despite the pattern of such attacks being consistent with the Russia-Ukraine War context, the absence of supporting real-time evidence on X or elsewhere renders the claim unverified as presented.
