Russia accuses Ukraine of a drone strike on the capital Moscow on Monday morning. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed the drones were "disrupted and crushed" by Russia's electronic warfare system.
The two pilots, fitted with tiny warheads, hit an office tower south of the city center. According to the Russian news agency TASS, one of the drones hit near the headquarters of Russian intelligence. According to the authorities, there were no casualties in the incident.
Suicide drone attack in Moscow
Ukraine has not responded to the accusations of the attack, but it is important to note that Kyiv has never claimed responsibility for attacks carried out on Russian territory. The attack on the Russian capital comes after nearly a week of Russian bombardment of civilian infrastructure in the port city of Odesa, Ukraine's third-largest city. Yesterday, the city's historic center was bombed and the city's famous cathedral was severely damaged.
Meanwhile, this morning there was a Ukrainian bombardment of a huge ammunition depot of the Russian army in Crimea. According to local media reports, powerful explosions were recorded at the site, including secondary explosions indicating the destruction of ammunition. The Ukrainian military on Saturday attacked several major sites for storing ammunition and fuel on the peninsula and large injuries were recorded in equipment.
The Ukrainian attempt to damage the Russian logistics system in the Russian-occupied territories is intended to help the fighting forces on the front achieve a breach of the Russian lines, something the Ukrainians have not yet been able to do in their counteroffensive, which began at the end of June.
