The moment of the explosion was caught on video.
Russian media wrote, citing emergency services, that Russian air defense in the Moscow region allegedly repelled drone attacks on the capital.
"The sound occurred in the 50-story building of the IQ quarter in the center of Moscow, the windows were smashed," Russian media also reported.
Many law enforcers arrived on the scene and people were evacuated from the damaged tower. Moscow Mayor Sobyanin was quick to say that the UAVs that attacked the Russian capital were allegedly Ukrainian. Moscow authorities said that traffic on Testovskaya Street in the Moscow City neighborhood, where drones damaged facades on two office towers, was blocked.
Russia's Defense Ministry has already managed to blame Ukraine for the UAV attack on Moscow. The terrorist agency said that one UAV was destroyed in the air by air defense assets over the territory of the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region. Two more drones were allegedly suppressed by electronic warfare equipment and, having lost control, crashed on the territory of the Moscow City complex of non-residential buildings.
