Russia accuses Ukraine of Moscow drone attack - BBC News

Russia has accused Ukraine of being behind a drone attack that damaged at least two buildings in the capital Moscow early on Monday morning.

The Russian defence ministry said two drones were "suppressed and crashed", adding that there were no casualties.

Russia's state-owned Tass news agency reported that one drone fell close to the defence ministry.

Ukrainian officials are yet to comment, but they rarely claim responsibility for attacks inside Russia.

Lol you can’t attack a country then complain they attacking back 😂

[honotron]

What's their point? It's called fighting back

[evertmaree]

How do they accuse them like it is somehow wrong of them after currently invading them. It is like a boxer complaining that the opponent is hitting back.

A great start. Should be a daily event.

[drsrjonesa]

Putin calls attacks within Russia terrorism? I call it a nice start!

Why *shouldn’t* Ukraine be allowed to directly hit Moscow? Russia has been directly hitting Kyiv since day 1 of this war. What’s always been a bit mystifying in this conflict is how Putin/Russia get all hoity toity when they experience a direct hit on their land, yet they are seemingly allowed to hit Ukraine with impunity. Last time I checked, in a boxing match *both* fighters are allowed to throw punches.

About time the Russian population were forced to stop relaxing their way through this war.

When a bully goes running and crying to a teacher when their victim fights back

[Andy-kdor]

Nato need to let Ukraine take the gloves off.

[JaeYongSin]

RU:"Haha drone go boom" *Ukraine pulls UNO Reverse card* RU:"You can't do that its against the rules"

[seereal]

Russia started this fight first. Russia doesn’t deserve to complain about this.

Don't refer to that criminal as "The Governor of Crimea". He is illegally occupying a soveriegn county's territory and beloings in prison.

[tammytsang]

A big thank you to this journalist and the BBC crew for this report.

[balsarmy]

Actually people in Moscow doesn't care

[pdterre]

The drone strike could have not made less damage. The now windowless floors seem to be unfinished and unused .

[waynewhite]

How dare they atttack russia .only russia aloud to attack.its not fair.

[ygreq]

The nerve to accuse Ukraine just after ruZZia bombing Odessa.

[PSA]

They are just helping Putin to open a few windows for the next people who fail to please him. 😂

The brassneck of the Russian side is appalling. They've level almost the whole of 🇺🇦 but they're crying about a small building damage by a drone.
