A Ukrainian drone hit a high-rise residential building near Moscow’s business district, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.
The UAV struck the 52-story residential building which is known as the House on Mosfilmovskaya, a modernist landmark built in the early 2010s. The impact occurred near the 36th floor.
Sobyanin said there were no casualties.
RT reports: Photos and videos from the scene show damage to the facade and debris scattered on the street.

The attack took place ahead of Victory Day on May 9, one of Russia’s most important public holidays, marked by a military parade on Red Square.
Dozens of police cars and ambulances are at the scene.
Eyewitnesses told RT they heard a powerful explosion. Some said they saw a flash in the sky and smoke rising from the building.
Ukraine has stepped up strikes deep inside Russia in recent weeks, launching hundreds of kamikaze drones a day. Although successful strikes in Moscow are rare, Ukrainian drones damaged high-rise buildings in Moscow City, the capital’s iconic business district, in 2023.
