Russia blames Ukraine for overnight drone attacks that damaged Moscow buildings

 

Three Ukrainian drones were downed over Moscow early on Sunday, Russia’s defence ministry said, in an attack that briefly shut an international airport. 

A security guard was injured, Russia’s state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials. The attack is the latest in a series of recent drone assaults – including on the Kremlin and Russian towns near the border with Ukraine – that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv. 

Ukraine is yet to comment, but typically declines to claim responsibility for attacks on Russia. The Russian defence ministry called it an “attempted terrorist attack”
