A night-time Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow damaged two office blocks, the mayor said early Sunday, as an airport in the Russian capital was reportedly closed to traffic.
"Ukrainian drones attacked tonight. Facades of two city office towers were slightly damaged. There are no victims or injured," Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin posted on Telegram.
"The capital's Vnukovo airport is closed for departures and arrivals, flights are redirected to other airports," TASS reported.Earlier this month, a volley of drone attacks briefly disrupted air traffic at the same airport, to the city's southwest.The attacks on Moscow come several weeks into a Ukrainian counter-offensive to claw back territory captured by Russia since large-scale hostilities erupted in February 2022.
Regions bordering Ukraine have seen regular drone strikes and shelling since Moscow launched its military campaign in February last year, but have hardly ever been targeted by missiles. On the other side of the border, at least one civilian was killed in a Russian missile attack on the northeast Ukrainian city of Sumy, according to national police, who added that there were five injured.
