Authorities in Moscow have said that the Russian capital was attacked by drones as reports of explosions and buildings being hit were shared on social media.
The city’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a Telegram post there had been “insignificant damage” to buildings, two of which were evacuated.
Meanwhile, the Moscow regional governor Andrei Vorobyov said that several drones were “shot down” as they approached the city.
A number of strikes on Russian infrastructure, such as airfields and military depots, have taken place since the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
Kyiv has not commented on the latest reports of attacks which come weeks after Russia blamed Ukraine for a drone strike on the Kremlin at the start of May.
Also on Tuesday morning, Russia launched a pre-dawn drone air raid which killed at least one person. Kyiv’s military administration said Ukrainian air defense destroyed at least 20 Iranian-supplied Shahed UAVs over Ukraine’s capital.
This is a developing story and will be updated with further information.
