MOSCOW – Ukraine launched one of its biggest drone attacks on Moscow on Tuesday, bringing the 15-month war in Ukraine to the heart of the Russian capital.
Residents in south-western Moscow said they heard loud bangs, followed by the smell of petrol. Some filmed a drone being shot down and a plume of smoke rising over the Moscow skyline. The ministry said special electronic counter-drone technology was used to divert three of the Ukrainian drones, while five more were shot down, including by Pantsir missile systems that help defend Moscow.Kyiv denied that it was behind the drone raid on the Kremlin earlier in May, though The New York Times reported that US intelligence believes Ukraine was behind that attack.
It was unclear how Russian President Vladimir Putin will react to the attack on Moscow, which brings the war in Ukraine to the capital of the world’s biggest nuclear power.
