Video footage obtained by Reuters shows a large explosion in Moscow that Russia's defense ministry said was caused by one of three Ukrainian drones it downed
Says all three drones shot down or forced to crashMOSCOW, July 30 - Russia's Defence Ministry said it had brought down three Ukrainian drones early on Sunday that had tried to strike Moscow in the second such attack in a week, which damaged a high rise building reported to house government offices.
That hostile drones have reached the heart of the Russian capital in recent months, even if they have so far caused no major damage, is uncomfortable for the authorities who have told the public that Russia is in full control of what they call its "special military operation" against Ukraine. "And this is an inevitable, natural, and absolutely fair process," Zelenskiy said in his daily address to the nation.In Moscow, a young woman who gave her name as Liya told Reuters she was in an apartment she had rented with some friends at the moment of Sunday's strike.
Flights to and from Moscow's Vnukovo airport were briefly suspended due to the incident, the TASS news agency reported.
