Moscow, Crimea hit by drone strikes, Russia says, as southern Ukraine gets bombarded
Emergency workers were inspecting the damage and traffic was halted on sections of highways where the drones fell.
Russian authorities said that another Ukrainian drone attack early Monday struck an ammunition depot in northern Crimea and forced a halt in traffic on a major highway and a railway crossing the Black Sea peninsula that was illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014. Railway traffic was restored several hours later.
Ukrainska Pravda reported that the drone attack on Moscow was a special operation by Ukrainian military intelligence.
UNESCO strongly condemned the attack on the cathedral and other heritage sites and said it will send a mission in coming days to assess damage. Odesa’s historic center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site earlier this year, and the agency said the Russian attacks contradict Moscow’s pledge to take precautions to spare World Heritage sites in Ukraine.
