Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said several drones were shot down by air defenses on their way to the Russian capital, but one hit a tower in the Moscow-City business center and damaged its facade.
On Sunday, Sobyanin said Ukrainian drones hit at night the facades of two office towers in Moscow-City, slightly damaging them, but no casualties were reported.
"Several drones, while trying to fly through to Moscow, were shot down by air defense systems. One reached the same tower in the City as last time. The facade at the level of the 21st floor was damaged. Emergency services are working at the scene," Sergey Sobyanin wrote on Telegram.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, two of the drones were shot down, the third one was suppressed by electronic warfare systems and fell on non-residential buildings in the Moscow-City business center.
