**Russia’s Capital Hit by Ukrainian Drone Attack**
A building in Moscow was reportedly damaged last night, May 29, after a Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian capital. According to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the damage occurred when a residential building on Vernadsky Avenue in Southwest Moscow was hit by falling debris from an exploding drone.
Videos and photos taken by residents and posted on social media show significant damage to the building. Explosions were heard in the area around 1:40 a.m. local time. Sobyanin claimed that no one was injured in the attack, but the full extent of the damage is not yet clear.

Ukraine’s recent drone attacks have been aimed at disrupting airport operations and overwhelming air defenses. As a result, operations at Vnukovo airport were temporarily halted amid last night’s drone attack. This is not the first time that Ukrainian drones have forced airport closures in Russia.
