Moscow’s mayor Sergei Sobyani has accused Ukraine of a 2nd drone strike on one of the city’s skyscrapers in as many days. He says while the Russian military managed to shoot down several drones in the city overnight, the exterior of the Moskva city complex was damaged on the 21st floor – although no injuries were reported. Employees in the building are now working from home. While Ukraine hasn’t directly claimed responsibility for the latest attacks, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his address on Sunday that “the war is gradually returning to Russia’s territory”, and this was “inevitable, natural, and absolutely fair”. Before these latest incidents, the war had really only played out on Russian soil once, with a drone attack on the Kremlin back in May. Ukrainian Minister Mykhailo Fedorov says Moscow can expect more similar strikes as it ramps up its operation to push Russian troops out of the country.
