Russian authorities accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on Moscow early Monday that saw one of the aircraft fall near the Defense Ministry’s main headquarters. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there were no casualties. The Defense Ministry claimed that the military jammed both attacking drones, forcing them to crash. One of the drones allegedly fell on the Komsomolsky highway near Moscow’s center, shattering shop windows and damaged the roof of a house just about 200 metres away from the towering riverside Defense Ministry building.
The ministry’s main headquarters has Pantsyr air defense systems placed on the roof. Another drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting several upper floors—more visible damage compared to earlier drone strikes on the Russian capital. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone attack early Monday struck an ammunition depot in northern Crimea and forced a halt in traffic on a major highway and a railway crossing the Black Sea peninsula that was illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014. Rail traffic was restored after several hours.
