(Bloomberg) — Air defenses shot down two Ukrainian drones over Moscow region early Tuesday and jammed a third one which crashed into the same office tower in Moscow’s commercial district that was hit two days ago, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
While there were no reports of injuries in the attack, the jammed drone damaged the facade of the building on the 21st floor, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in Telegram. This floor is occupied by the Russian Economy Ministry.
Ukraine hasn’t commented. Russian authorities also briefly closed Vnukovo airport in south-western Moscow, though officials said regular operations had resumed.
On Sunday morning, Russian air defense shot down a drone over the Moscow region, while two others were downed using electronic jamming and crashed into the office tower. Vnukovo was also temporarily closed then, too.
