INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Russia&s defense ministry accused Ukraine of a ''terrorist& drone attack on Moscow on Monday, after the city&s mayor said that two buildings
were hit and media reported that debris was found not far from the defense ministry&s buildings.The defense 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
Moscow time, adding that there was no &serious damage or casualties.It was unclear whether the drones hit the buildings when they were
downed, or whether they deliberately targeted the buildings.Neither the defense ministry nor the mayor said where the drones were
intercepted.Russia&s state news agencies reported, citing emergency services, said that drone fragments were found near a building on the
Komsomolsky Avenue, which runs through central Moscow
The site is about 2 kilometers from the defense ministry&s buildings, Reuters reported.Traffic was closed on the Komsomolsky Avenue as well
as on Likhachev Avenue in Moscow&s south, where a high-rise office building was damaged, Russian news agencies reported.I was asleep and was
woken up by a blast, everything started shaking,& said Polina, a young woman who lives near the high-rise building on Likhachev
Avenue.Russia&s defense ministry television channel Zvezda published a short video on its Telegram channel showing a high-rise building with
missing windows on its top floors and damaged structure.Other Russian Telegram channels, with links to Russia&s security forces, published
videos of glass and concrete debris on what they said was the Komsomolsky Avenue.The alleged attack comes after nearly a week of Russia&s
continued pounding of Ukraine&s southern port of Odessa, where on Sunday, missiles killed one person, injuring scores and badly damaging a
historic Orthodox cathedral.There was no immediate comment from Kyiv
Ukraine almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia or on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine, but has been
saying in recent months that destroying Russia&s military infrastructure helps Kyiv&s counteroffensive.The post Russia blames Ukraine for
‘terrorist& drone attack on Moscow first appeared on Ariana News.
