Moscow: The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine (Russia-Ukraine War) seems to be intensifying. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed early Monday that ‘drone attacks’ targeted two non-residential buildings in the Russian capital overnight. He said that ‘at around 4 am (0100 GMT) this morning, drone attacks have been reported on two non-residential buildings. There has been no serious destruction or casualty.
According to Russian news agency TASS, a drone fell on Komsomolsky Prospekt near Russia’s Defense Ministry. While the other fell on a business center on Likhacheva Street. After this, the Ministry of Defense issued a statement and said that two Ukrainian drones have been shot down. Also in the statement, it was said that it was a terrorist act by Ukraine on the Russian capital.
No casualties in the attack
Russia’s Defense Ministry said ‘the attempt of the Ukrainian regime to carry out a terrorist act using two drones in the region of the city of Moscow has been foiled’. The Russian Defense Ministry further said that ‘both Ukrainian drones were targeted and shot down. There has been no casualty in this attack.
There has already been an attack
This is not the first case in which Russia has accused Ukraine of targeting the capital through drones. In May, the Kremlin claimed it had been attacked by a Ukrainian drone in what it believed was an attack to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin. At that time, the Kremlin described the incident as a planned terrorist attack and an assassination attempt on the President of Russia.
