Explosions Rock Moscow in Brazen Early-Morning Drone Attack

Several explosions rocked Moscow early Sunday morning in a drone attack that damaged a skyscraper, left at least one person injured, and shut down local airspace, according to local reports.

The Moscow City business center took a direct hit in the attack, with footage from the scene showing debris and smoke apparently pouring from the building. Local outlet 112 reported that a security guard was injured in the strike, though Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said no injuries had been reported.

“Ukrainian drones attacked tonight. The facades on two [Moscow] City office towers were slightly damaged,” Sobyanin wrote on Telegram.

Residents reported hearing multiple explosions just before 3:30 a.m. local time, as air defenses were activated to shoot down the drones. Witnesses told local media at least one of the drones appeared to tear through a floor in the Moscow City skyscraper, blowing out nearby windows in the process.

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed to have “suppressed” two drones, causing them to lose control and crash into Moscow City, and to have shot down a third drone.

Russia appears to lack an adequate air defense system to deal with the Ukraine drones.  These particular drones do not appear to be deadly, but they do act as an embarrassment to the Kremlin.

 Russian missile attacks leave few options for Ukrainian farmers looking to export grain

The summer winds carried the smell of burned grain across the southern Ukrainian steppe and away from the shards of three Russian cruise missiles that struck the unassuming metal hangars.

The agricultural company Ivushka applied for accreditation to export grain this year, but the strike in mid-July destroyed a large portion of the stock, days after Russia abandoned the grain deal that would have allowed the shipments across the Black Sea without fear of attack.

 Ukraine shows off a sea drone that can wipe out Russian ships and is 'faster than anything in the Black Sea'

...

The outlet got an exclusive look at the new naval drone, which is designed to attack ships in Russia's Black Sea Fleet. It packs hundreds of pounds of explosives and can hit targets 500 miles away, the report said.

The Ukrainian-designed and manufactured drone is remotely controlled and can also be used for reconnaissance and surveillance missions, among other things, the report says.

A drone pilot codenamed "Shark" told CNN that the drone was simple to operate and had been successful in stifling the Russian Navy's movements.

Video footage shared by the publication displays the strike power of Ukraine's sea drones, showing some of them breaking through Russian defenses and striking both ships and the main port of the Black Sea Fleet.

The drone's developer told CNN that Russian defenses were ineffective against the drones because its ships were designed to target other ships rather than smaller targets.

"These are faster than anything else in the Black Sea," the developer said.
