Russia blames Ukraine for 'terrorist' drone attack on Moscow

Russia's defence ministry accused Ukraine of a "terrorist" drone attack on Moscow on Monday after the city's mayor said that two buildings were hit and the media reported that debris was found not far from the defence ministry's buildings.

The defence ministry said on its Telegram messaging app that two drones "were suppressed and crashed." Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on his Telegram messaging app that two non-residential buildings were struck at around 4 a.m. (local time). Russian media reported drone fragments were found near a building on Komsomolsky Avenue, in central Moscow. The site is about 2 km from the defence ministry's buildings.
