Russia-Ukraine War: The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine seems to be intensifying. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed on Monday (July 24) that there was a drone attack from Ukraine in Moscow at night. They targeted two non-residential buildings. A drone strike was reported on two non-residential buildings at around 4 am today. However, no one was injured in this attack.

According to the Russian news agency TASS, one drone fell on Komsomolsky Prospekt near Russia’s Defense Ministry, while the other fell on a business center on Likhacheva Street near the main ring road. After this, the Ministry of Defense issued a statement and said that it had destroyed two Ukrainian drones. The Russian government called the attack a terrorist act.

Retaliation against Russian missile attack
Ukraine has done this drone attack in retaliation against the Russian missile attack on the Black Sea port of Odessa. A video of the business center was posted by IRA leader Novosti, in which the explosion is clearly visible at the top of the multi-storey building. Following the drone attack, the authorities have sealed the road around the building as a precautionary measure.

Attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin
This is not the first case when Russia has accused Ukraine of targeting Moscow through drones. Russia claimed that it was attacked by a Ukrainian drone in May, which it called an attempt to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Earlier this month, Russia said it had shot down five Ukrainian drones that disrupted operations at Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport.
