Moscow is repelling a major multi-wave Ukrainian drone attack, with at least one residential high-rise in the capital damaged by falling debris, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. Outside Moscow, at least one person has been killed, and multiple buildings have been damaged, Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyev has confirmed.

At least 69 incoming UAVs were shot down early Tuesday by air defenses southeast of the capital, Sobyanin wrote in a series of Telegram posts. According to the mayor, most of the drones were intercepted outside Moscow, and only one residential building in the city sustained damage, with no injuries reported.

“At the moment, the roof of a house in Moscow is slightly damaged by falling debris from a downed UAV on Domodedovo Street,” Sobyanin wrote, adding that emergency services were working at the scene.

 

However, at least three more residential buildings were damaged in Domodedovo, Vidnoye, and Ramenskoye, according to Vorobyev. He confirmed that one person was killed and three others were injured in those incidents.

 

“The debris of the drone hit an apartment building in Ramenskoye, damaging at least seven apartments on the 19th to 22nd floors,” Vorobyev said, confirming previous eyewitness accounts and videos circulating on social media.

Moscow's Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky international airports have announced suspension of their operations amid the drone raid.

Kiev’s last attempted major drone attack on the Russian capital took place in November when as many as 32 UAVs were shot down or intercepted over several Russian regions while heading toward Moscow.

Meanwhile, the Russian regions of Belgorod, Kursk, Kherson, and Bryansk, as well as Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic – all of which border Ukraine – have suffered the most from Kiev’s shelling and drone attacks. On Monday, at least four people were killed in a missile strike on a shopping center in Kursk, while another three civilians died in an attack on a market in Kherson Region the day before.

Kiev is increasingly resorting to terrorist tactics, the head of the Federal Security Service (FSB), Aleksandr Bortnikov, warned last month. Ukraine will attempt to carry out strikes deep into Russian territory using drones and Western-supplied weapons, with the goal of “inflicting maximum economic damage and intimidating the population,” the top security official said.
