**Russia says a Ukrainian drone damaged a building in Moscow**
Moscow, Russia – In an escalating series of drone strikes on the Russian capital, Russia has claimed that a Ukrainian drone hit Moscow’s financial center early Friday. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that its air defenses intercepted the drone, but it subsequently fell on a building in an exhibition center in Moscow City, the capital’s financial district.
Fortunately, no one was injured, and there was no significant damage to the building. However, the incident caused temporary flight restrictions at Moscow’s four airports, which were later lifted.
Ukraine has not yet commented on the drone attack in Moscow or the fire at the Novorossiysk port. In recent weeks, Ukraine has been using drones to conduct attacks inside Russia’s borders, aiming to bring the war closer to Russian citizens.
This attack comes as a fire broke out at the Novorossiysk port, one of Russia’s most important trade sites for exporting oil and grain. The cause of the blaze is still unknown.

Ukraine has been increasingly targeting places far from the front lines, reaching deep into Russian territory. In May, two drones exploded over the Kremlin, and a few weeks ago, a Moscow building that housed government ministries was hit twice by drones. Russia’s Defense Ministry also claimed to have thwarted an attack by a Ukrainian maritime drone targeting the Black Sea Fleet. The incident occurred about 150 miles southwest of Sevastopol, the occupied Crimean port city.Russia says a Ukrainian drone damaged a building in Moscow

Allied nations will be allowed to send F-16s to Ukraine after its pilots are trained, a U.S. official says
The United States has confirmed that it will allow its allies to send American-made F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine once Ukrainian pilots are trained to operate them. However, the approvals will not come for months as the pilots need to undergo full training. Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which began two months ago, has a chance of succeeding without the fighter jets, but it will be more challenging. The U.S. decision had been anticipated since May when President Biden eased his resistance to NATO allies’ efforts to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16s and provide the jets to Ukraine. The F-16 fighter jets are expected to be transferred to Denmark and the Netherlands, which are leading a coalition to train the pilots.
A fire broke out at Novorossiysk, a key Russian port on the Black Sea
A fire erupted at the freight port in Novorossiysk, disrupting one of Russia’s most important trade sites for exporting oil and grain. The cause of the blaze is still unknown, but wooden shipping pallets caught fire, affecting a 1,300-square-meter area of the port. Novorossiysk is one of Russia’s largest commercial seaports and a major hub for the export of Russian grain, oil, and other products. It is also a significant export hub for grain, given its proximity to Russia’s biggest grain-producing regions and its location on the Black Sea. The fire comes amid heightened tensions in the Black Sea, following
How is Ukraine’s strategy of targeting areas deep within Russian territory with drones affecting the ongoing conflict between the two countries

These recent events have caused chaos and raised tensions at two crucial economic sites in Russia. Ukraine has been employing drones to carry out attacks inside Russian borders in an attempt to bring the war closer to Russian citizens. This attack in Moscow comes as a fire erupted at the Novorossiysk port, which is a vital trade location for oil and grain exports. The cause of the fire is still unknown. It is evident that Ukraine is increasingly targeting areas far from the front lines, reaching deep into Russian territory.
In May, two drones exploded over the Kremlin, and a few weeks ago, a Moscow building that housed government ministries was targeted twice by drones. Furthermore, Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed to have thwarted an attack by a Ukrainian maritime drone on the Black Sea Fleet, which occurred approximately 150 miles southwest of Sevastopol, the occupied Crimean port city.
Wow, tensions are really heating up. This is a dangerous escalation with unpredictable consequences.
This is a concerning development that will likely only exacerbate the already strained relationship between Russia and Ukraine.
