A child was killed and another civilian was injured in a Ukrainian drone attack that targeted Moscow, regional governor Andrei Vorobyov says on the Telegram messaging app.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin says a fire broke out on the 11th and 12th floors of residential high-rise amid the attack, after earlier reporting that 12 drones from Ukraine had been shot down.
The announcement comes after local authorities and state media said Russian air defenses shot down more than 70 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 12 in the skies around Moscow.
Another “59 enemy aircraft-type UAVs have been intercepted and destroyed,” Bryansk regional Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz says on Telegram.
“There are no casualties or damage,” he adds.
Two more Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the region of Tula, south of Moscow, Russian state news agency TASS reports.
