At the same time, it became clear that the entire “Moscow City” zone in the capital was being evacuated. The purpose is to inspect the buildings. It is in this area that Sobyanin reported the two high-rise buildings damaged in the drone attack.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia explained that Ukraine tried to attack objects in Moscow with unmanned aerial vehicles, and one drone was destroyed in the air over the territory of the Odintsovsky district of the Moscow region. Two other drones were also intercepted and disabled with electronic warfare means. They lost control and crashed on the territory of the “Moscow City” zone, TASS reported.
One security guard was injured in the attack on the high-rise administrative building “Oko 2” in “Moscow City”, the emergency services reported. The windows on four floors were broken.
Earlier it was reported that the “IQ-Quartal” building in the same area was also attacked, and the windows on the fifth and sixth floors were broken. Due to the emergency situation, flights to and from Vnukovo Airport were temporarily suspended.
