Drones brought down over Moscow and outskirts
Russian air defences shot down “several” drones targeting the Moscow region, mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Tuesday, with one hitting a tower that had been struck last Sunday.
The Russian defence ministry said two drones had been destroyed by air defence systems in the Odintsovo and Naro-Fominsk districts near Moscow, while a third was jammed and crashed in the capital, according to the state news agency Tass. The ministry blamed the attacks on Kyiv.
The strikes come two days after Ukrainian president Volodymr Zelenskiy said that the war was coming to Russia, although Ukraine has not acknowledged responsibility for the attacks.
Zelenskiy said on Monday that more than 350 people were working on a rescue mission in Kryvyi Rih after what he said were two Russian ballistic missiles struck a high-rise apartment block in his home city. At least six people were killed and more than 50 people injured. Oleksiy Kuleba, the deputy head of the president’s office, said targeting civilians was a sign of Russia’s “despair”.
