Moscow: The mayor of the Russian capital claimed that two drones had struck non-residential buildings in the city during the early hours of Monday when Russia claimed to have stopped a Ukrainian "terrorist act" on Moscow.

After promising to "retaliate" against a Russian missile attack on the Black Sea port of Odesa, Kyiv made the attack a day later.

The attempt by the Kyiv regime to commit a terrorist act by using two drones against targets on Moscow's territory was thwarted, according to the Russian defence ministry.

The business centre can be seen in a video posted by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti with some of the tall building's top showing signs of damage. The surrounding road was blocked off.
