Russia’s air defence forces have “suppressed” a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, the Russian defence ministry has announced, accusing Kyiv of launching a “terrorist act” against the country’s capital.
The attack early on Monday involved two drones, the ministry said in a statement.
The Russian TASS news agency said that one of the drones fell on Komsomolsky Prospekt, which is close to Russia’s defence ministry, while another hit a business centre on Likhacheva Street near one of Moscow’s main ring roads.
The Reuters news agency reported two loud explosions before the reported attacks.
Journalist Yulia Shapovalova joins us live from Moscow for the latest updates.
