Russian forces down new wave of drones over Moscow, office tower hit

Russian forces have again downed several drones over the city of Moscow, according to officials, with one of the intercepted aircraft damaging the same office tower that was hit in an attack over the weekend. The Russian defence ministry, in a message on Telegram on Tuesday, said its anti-aircraft units had "thwarted a terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime" and downed two drones in the suburbs west of the city centre. But another drone, having been "hit by radio-electronic equipment and, having run out of control, crashed on the territory of the complex of non-residential buildings" in Moscow City, the ministry said, referring to a business district in the capital. Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the building hit on Tuesday was the same one struck in a drone attack on Sunday. "One flew into the same tower at the Moskva City complex hit previously. The facade has been damaged on the 21st floor. Glazing was destroyed over 150 square metres," he said.
