A Moscow high-rise that houses government offices was struck in a drone attack just two days after it was last hit, the city’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.
The Tuesday strike on the 21st floor of the IQ-Quarter building, which houses Economic Development ministry offices, did not result in any casualties, according to officials.
Russian air defenses shot down several other drones targeting the capital region and jammed the projectile that hit the government building, causing it to go “out of control,” defense officials said.
Photos of the building showed exterior glass panels missing or damaged, exposing the charred interior — with witnesses saying security services fled as huge shards of glass fell.
Just 48 hours earlier, a security guard was injured by falling debris after Russian officials said it had jammed two drones that crashed into the same government-office building.
Defense officials labeled that Sunday strike an “attempted terrorist attack.”
Ukraine once again did not directly take responsibility for the latest attack, but top presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted that Moscow “is rapidly getting used to a full-fledged war.
