Ukraine has been sending drones into Russian territory almost daily since Kiev launched its counteroffensive in early June.
Ukraine attacked Moscow using three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) overnight, of which two were shoot down by air defenses and the third one was jammed by means of radio and electronic warfare equipment, the Russian Defense Ministry said early on Wednesday.

"On August 23 at night, air defense forces foiled another attempt by the Kiev regime to launch a terrorist attack using three aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles against the city of Moscow. Two of the UAVs attacking the capital were destroyed by air defense forces mid-air over the territory of the Mozhaysky and Khimki districts of the Moscow region," the ministry said.

"The third UAV was jammed by means of radio and electronic warfare and, having lost control, hit a building under construction of the Moscow-City complex," the ministry added.
The ministry said that no one was in the accidents.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said on Telegram that the city's emergency services were inspecting the perimeter of the Moscow-City business center for damage from the drone, adding that several windows in two nearby buildings were smashed.
Later in the day, Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency said that Moscow’s airports returned to business as usual after temporary restrictions that were imposed following the attack.
"As of 8 a.m. Moscow time (06:00 GMT) on August 23, 2023, Moscow’s airports and Zhukovsky airport are operating as usual ... Early in the morning, in order to ensure the safety of civil aircraft, flights were temporarily limited there. Due to the restrictions of the use of airspace, two aircraft left for alternate airports. Passengers of the said flights were taken to destination airports," the agency said.
