Ukraine attempted an attack on the Russian capital, Moscow, using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the Russian Ministry of Defense said on Saturday.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said it shot down all three drones that attacked Moscow early this morning, and said there were no casualties.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Soviyanin confirmed the news via messaging app Telegram, saying the attack, which targeted the high-rise western commercial district, slightly damaged the facades of two office buildings.
One of these buildings turned out to be the residence of three Russian government agencies.
This district is only a few kilometers from the Kremlin.
The attack also temporarily disrupted Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport.
On the other hand, Russian authorities previously said that they had been attacked by drones on the 24th.
