Drone hits office tower in Moscow

Moscow, The Gulf Observer: A drone hit an office tower in Moscow that was struck over the weekend, while at least one other drone was downed, the city’s mayor said.

“Several drones were shot down by air defence systems while trying to fly to Moscow. One (drone) flew into the same tower in (Moscow) City as last time. The facade on the 21st floor was damaged,” Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin posted on Telegram.

“There is no information on casualties,” he said, adding that emergency services were on the scene.

On Sunday, Russia said it had downed Ukrainian drones targeting the capital in an attack that damaged two office towers in Moscow-City, a business district.

Shortly after the drone attack, Moscow’s Vnukovo international airport was briefly closed, TASS state news agency reported.
