 One person was injured after three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours of this morning. The attack prompted a temporary closure of one of four airports around the capital. Screams rang out as witnesses watched a drone fly into an office building in the capital before a huge explosion late on Saturday night. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin posted on Telegram and said 'the facades of two city office towers were slightly damaged. There are no victims or injured.' The strike is the latest in a series of recent drone assaults that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.

It was the fourth attempt at a strike on the capital region this month and the third this week. It has fuelled concerns about Moscow's vulnerability to attacks as Russia's war in Ukraine drags on into its 18th month. The Russian Defence Ministry referred to the incident as an 'attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime' and said three drones targeted the city. One was shot down in the surrounding Moscow region by air defence systems and two others were jammed. Those two crashed into the Moscow City business district in the capital. Photos from the site of the crash showed the facade of a skyscraper damaged on one floor. A security guard was injured, Russia's state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials. No flights went into or out of Vnukovo airport on the southern outskirts of the city for about an hour, according to Tass, and the air space over Moscow and the outlying regions was temporarily closed to any aircraft. It is believed to have been an attack by Ukrainian drones (Picture: REUTERS) Police at the scene of the str){kind=link}
