Ukraine war – live: Russia says Kyiv’s ‘terrorist’ drone attack on Moscow thwarted
The Russian defence ministry has claimed two Ukraine-launched drones for attacking Moscow have been intercepted and destroyed in the early hours today amid reports that drone fragments were found two km (1.2 miles) away from the ministry’s building. The defence ministry accused Ukraine for a “terrorist attack” but said there were no casualties in the attack. Two non-residential buildings were also struck during the attack, mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin said. Officials have closed the traffic on Komsomolsky Avenue as well as on Likhachev Avenue in Moscow’s south where a high-rise office building was struck, according to state news reports. Kyiv has not confirmed the Russian reports on drone attacks. Kyiv does not claim responsibility for operations on Russian soil, stating that the foreign invading nation is not its target. This comes just hours after at least one person was killed after a Russian missile struck Ukraine’s southern port of Odesa as it severely damaged an Orthodox cathedral in the city centre, a Unesco world heritage site. Another 20 were injured in the attack on the civilian infrastructure.
