The Russian authorities announced on Monday that a "Ukrainian" march crashed about fifty kilometers from Moscow without causing injuries or damage, amid fears of attacks in Russia after days of major national holidays.

This is the second reported incident in the Moscow region since the offensive began in Ukraine in February 2022. The marches have targeted other Russian regions, sometimes far from the Ukrainian border .

"A Ukrainian-made march crashed in the Bogorodsk region," about 50 kilometers east of Moscow, and was found by a resident Sunday in a forest, Igor Sukhin, in charge of the Bogorodsk region, wrote on Telegram.

A source in the emergency services told RIA Novosti that the march, according to preliminary information, "was not carrying ammunition."

Interfax news agency quoted another local source as saying that it could have carried about 18 kilograms of explosives.

In the aftermath of this incident, Sukhin announced that for "security" reasons, the show and concert scheduled for May 9 in the Bogorodsk region to commemorate the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945 had been canceled.

"It is a difficult decision for us, but it must be taken. Security is the most important thing today. Victory is always in our hearts," Sokhin said.

Other Russian regions, including the regions of Kursk and Belgorod, which border Ukraine, as well as the annexed Crimea, decided to cancel performances on this date for the same reasons.

For his part, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the country's main military parade, in Red Square in Moscow, has not been canceled yet. "Preparations are underway for the show and it will take place. It will be an important traditional event," he told reporters on Monday.
