Russia-Ukraine war live: drones damage Moscow buildings in early morning attack; Putin says he does not reject peace talks

Moscow buildings damaged by drone attacks, one injured – Russian officials

More on the report of the drone attacks in Moscow.

Russia’s state news agency Tass sent an update saying a security guard was injured in the attacks, citing emergency officials.

Russia’s defence ministry said a Ukrainian drone was destroyed in the air over the Odintsovo district and two others crashed in Moscow, according to Tass, and the attack prompted a temporary closure of one of four airports around the Russian capital.

The city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, posted on Telegram that the “facades of two city office towers were slightly damaged”. He added that there were “no victims or injured”.

There is still no comment from Kyiv. It’s the latest in a series of recent drone assaults – including on the Kremlin and Russian towns near the border with Ukraine – that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.

Tass reported that the capital’s Vnukovo airport was “closed for departures and arrivals, flights are redirected to other airports”. Within less than an hour, operations appeared to return to normal.
