Russian authorities have accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on its capital city of Moscow early Monday, with one of the drones landing near the Defense Ministry's main headquarters.
Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed the military jammed the two attacking drones, forcing them to crash into two non-residential buildings. Local Russian media reported one fell on the Komsomolsky Highway near Moscow's main Defense Ministry building, and the other drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, destroying several floors at the top of the structure.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there were no casualties.
