The day after the bombardment of Odessa, Moscow was targeted by a nighttime attack of Ukrainian drones on Monday, July 24. It is a “special operation” by Kiev, as claimed by a source within the Ukrainian Defense.
Russia announced on Monday, July 24, that it had “neutralized” two Ukrainian drones in Moscow overnight, with one crashing near the Ministry of Defense. The Russian Defense Ministry described it as a “terrorist act” by Kiev on the Russian capital. “On the morning of July 24, an attempt by the Kiev regime to commit a terrorist act using two drones on objects located on the territory of the city of Moscow was thwarted,” the ministry said.
“Two Ukrainian drones were neutralized and crashed. There were no casualties.” According to the Russian state news agency Tass, one of the drones fell on a major thoroughfare in Moscow, Komsomolsky Prospekt. “Fragments” of the drone were found on this route.
Kiev claims a “special operation” This double attack occurred the day after the strikes on Odessa carried out by the Russian army. Regularly targeted by Moscow’s troops, the port city located on the Black Sea, whose historic center is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, was the target of a nighttime attack on Sunday, July 23.
This attack resulted in two deaths and 22 injuries, including at least four children, according to Ukrainian authorities. “There will definitely be retaliation,” promised President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had denounced it as “a war crime that will never be forgotten or forgiven.”
