The Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine on the 24th of using drones to carry out “terrorist attacks”. Two buildings in the capital Moscow were smashed and the wreckage of the fuselage was found near the Ministry of Defense.
According to Archyde.com, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram on the 24th that at around 4:00 a.m. that day, two drones were “disturbed” and then smashed into two non-civilian buildings. “No serious damage or casualties were caused.”
It was not immediately clear whether the drone was shot down, smashed the building, or aimed the attack at the targeted building; neither the Russian Defense Ministry nor Moscow’s mayor said where the drone was intercepted.
Russian state media reported it as urgent, saying the wreckage of the drone had been found on Komsomolsky Avenue, 2 kilometers from the Ministry of Defense. In addition, according to a video posted on Telegram by Zvezda, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense, it can be seen that a large area of glass on the top floor of the commercial building on Likhachev Avenue in the south of Moscow was broken and the structure was damaged.
According to reports, the attack was Ukraine’s retaliation for Russia’s indiscriminate bombing of the Unanda port of Odessa for nearly a week. On the 23rd, Russian missiles killed one person, injured dozens, and severely damaged a historic Orthodox cathedral.

Kiev has no immediate comment. In fact, Ukraine rarely publicly admits that it is conducting attacks in Russia or in Russian-occupied areas. However, in recent months, Ukraine has continued to emphasize that destroying Russian military facilities will help the country counterattack.
