Russia says thwarted Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow, Crimea
One drone targeting Moscow was shot down on the city's outskirts and two others were «suppressed by electronic warfare» and smashed into an office complex early on Sunday, the Russian defence ministry said, adding that there were no injuries. Moscow and its environs, lying about 500 kilometres (310 miles) from the Ukrainian border, had rarely been targeted during the conflict in Ukraine until several drone attacks this year. Following the attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that «war» was coming to Russia. «Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia — to its symbolic centres and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process,» Zelensky said on a visit to the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk.

Russia has been targetted with a series of recent drone assaults — including on the Kremlin and Russian towns near the border with Ukraine — that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv. Russia's defence ministry denounced an «attempted terrorist attack» which Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said would have been «impossible without the help afforded the Kyiv regime by the United States and its NATO allies.» The defence ministry said on Telegram: «On the morning of July 30, the Kyiv regime's attempted terrorist attack with unmanned aerial vehicles on objects in the city of Moscow was thwarted. »One Ukrainian UAV was destroyed in the air by air defence systems over the territory of the Odintsovo district of Moscow region.
