On Tuesday morning, Moscow experienced a drone strike targeting residential areas, marking what appears to be the first attack of its kind on the Russian capital since the invasion of Ukraine.
This incident follows a recent alleged drone attack on the Kremlin itself and comes amidst days of intense Russian shelling on civilians in Kyiv.
The focus on events occurring far from the front lines has shifted attention to Ukraine’s planned counteroffensive, NBC News reported.
Officials reported that the attack caused damage to several buildings in Moscow, resulting in the evacuation of residents from their homes.
However, the Kremlin largely downplayed the significance of the incident, seemingly unfazed by the stark realization that the repercussions of the ongoing conflict were now hitting close to home.
