Russia's defence ministry blamed the attack on Ukraine, saying that multiple facilities in the Moscow region had been targeted.
A UKRAINIAN DRONE downed by Russia this morning struck a Moscow office tower that was also hit over the weekend, as multiple other drones were downed, Russian officials said.
“Two Ukrainian were destroyed by air defence systems over the territory of the Odintsovo and Narofominsk districts of Moscow region,” the ministry said in a statement.“Another drone was suppressed by electronic warfare and, having lost control, crashed on the territory of the Moscow-City non-residential building complex.”
The same airport was briefly closed after Sunday’s attack, and earlier this month, a volley of drone attacks disrupted air traffic at Vnukovo, to the city’s southwest. ‘War returning to Russia’ On Monday, a missile strike on a residential building killed six and wounded dozens in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s hometown of Kryvyi Rig.
