Drone Strikes Shake Moscow and Crimea in Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Ukrainian drones allegedly struck two non-residential buildings in Moscow, but caused no serious damage or casualties. Russian authorities claim the attack was "thwarted" and blamed Ukraine, describing it as a "terrorist attack." The Ministry of Defense stated that the drones were suppressed and crashed. Russian state media reported that one drone hit a high-rise business center, while debris was found on another avenue. Law enforcement and emergency services are on the scene, and traffic has been blocked off. The reports have not been independently verified. This incident follows recent missile strikes by Russia on a historic cathedral in Odesa, Ukraine, prompting Ukrainian President Zelensky to vow retaliation. Ukraine denies direct involvement in the drone attack on Moscow in May.
