Drones hit several buildings in Moscow early Tuesday morning, Moscow officials reported, causing “minor” damage and no casualties. Emergency services arrived at the scene, the city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said in a statement.
It is not clear where the drones came from, but the Russian Defense Ministry blames Ukraine for the attack. Kiev has not responded to the allegations and CNBC has not been able to independently verify the information.
The drone strikes follow three heavy Russian rocket and drone bombardments on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in the space of 24 hours. The attacks began on Sunday, on Kyiv Day, a holiday celebrating the city’s founding. The typical street festivals, concerts and parades that would normally take place on Kyiv Day were canceled or significantly scaled back.
