Moscow/Kyiv, May 4 (CNA) Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that a residential building in an upscale community in Moscow was hit by a Ukrainian drone last night and this morning. Separately, Ukraine announced today that a Russian missile attack on a town in eastern Ukraine resulted in 4 deaths and 18 injuries.
According to AFP, the heavily guarded Moscow rarely experiences such attacks, coming just days before Russia’s grand annual Victory Day parade on May 9. This year’s parade will not feature military equipment due to increased threats of Ukrainian airstrikes.
Sobyanin said that a drone fell into a building in the Mosfilmovskaya Street area, a high-end district adjacent to the Mosfilm studio, about 10 kilometers from the Kremlin, with no casualties. State television Rossiya-1 showed images of collapsed walls and damaged doors inside an apartment.
On the other hand, Ukrainian authorities announced today that Russia launched a missile attack on a town in eastern Ukraine, killing 4 people and injuring 18.
Oleg Synegubov, governor of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, stated that the attack targeted the town of Merefa, and the deceased were two men and two women, all adults.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has lasted over four years, causing thousands of deaths and millions of displacements. During this period, Ukraine has repeatedly attacked Russia with drones.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has intensified attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, including refineries, ports, and oil depots. However, Ukrainian drones rarely manage to reach Moscow, which is protected by multiple air defense systems. (Translator: Yang Zhaoyan) 1150504
