Russia Accuses Ukraine of Being Behind Moscow Drone Attack

Russia has accused Ukraine of being behind a drone attack that damaged at least two buildings in the capital city of Moscow early this morning. The Russian defence ministry said two drones were “suppressed and crashed”, adding that there were no casualties. Russia’s state-owned Tass news agency reported that one drone fell close to the defence ministry. Ukrainian officials are yet to comment, but they rarely claim responsibility for attacks inside Russia. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the drone strikes hit “non-residential” buildings around 04:00am local time. He added that the buildings had not sustained any major damage. But state news agencies reported that some drone fragments were found just 2km away from the defence ministry’s buildings
