Windows smashed on Moscow skyscaper hit by drone in new strike

A drone struck a skyscraper in Moscow on Tuesday, 1 August, the second attack in two days, according to Russian officials.

Anti-aircraft units drowned drones headed for Moscow but one of them hit a high-rise that was struck last Sunday, the Russian defence ministry said.

No injuries were reported, mayor Sergei Sobayanin said.

SOTA Project footage shows emergency services in the city.

The defence ministry called the strike an “attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime.”

Earlier this week Volodymyr Zelensky said the war “is returning to the territory of Russia - to its symbolic centres and military bases.”
