The attack\u2062 resulted in \u200done of the drones falling near the Defense Ministry&#8217;s \u2062main headquarters. In response,\u2062 the Russian military unleashed new \u2063strikes\u200b on port infrastructure in southern Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow\u2064 Mayor\u2063 Sergei Sobyanin confirmed that there were \u200dno casualties when the drones struck two nonresidential \u200bbuildings in the city. However, a Ukrainian drone did manage\u200c to hit an ammunition depot in Russian-annexed Crimea, causing\u200c a major highway to be temporarily closed.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b incident in Moscow saw one of the drones fall \u2062on the Komsomolsky highway, causing \u200ddamage to nearby buildings. It remains unclear whether the Defense Ministry&#8217;s headquarters \u200dwas the intended target or if the drone \u2062was heading elsewhere in central Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/suspected-iranian-drone-strikes-israeli-owned-oil-tanker\/\" title=\"Suspected Iranian Drone Strikes Israeli-Owned Oil Tanker\">drone attack hit<\/a> an\u200c office building in southern Moscow, causing significant \u2063damage to several \u200bupper floors.\u200b Emergency workers are currently assessing the damage, and traffic has been halted in\u200d the areas where the drones fell.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian authorities have \u200dnot claimed\u2062 responsibility for the strike, which marks\u2063 the second drone attack on the Russian capital this month. In\u2063 the previous attack on July 4,\u200b the Russian military successfully defended against four out of five drones, with the fifth being\u200d jammed and\u2063 forced down.<\/p>\n<p>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged \u200bthe growing\u2062 intensity\u200b of drone attacks on Russian\u2063 regions. \u200dHe\u2063 stated that\u200d measures are\u2064 being taken to address the issue, but did not provide \u200cspecific details.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d addition to the attack \u200don Moscow, Ukrainian drones also targeted an ammunition depot in northern Crimea. This attack resulted in a halt in traffic on a major\u2062 highway and railway crossing the Black\u2062 Sea peninsula. However, railway traffic was restored several hours later.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, ordered the evacuation\u2062 of several villages within \u2062a five-kilometer radius of the depot that was hit. Russian authorities claimed to have\u2062 shot\u2064 down or \u200bjammed 11 attacking drones, while the Defense Ministry reported that 11 of the 17 drones were \u2062jammed and \u2064crashed into the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine&#8217;s\u2063 digital\u200d transformation minister, \u200bcommented on the attacks, stating\u200b that\u2064 they demonstrate Russia&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/drone-strike-on-moscow-hits-buildings-russia-claims-more-were-shot-down\/\" title=\"Moscow buildings hit by drone strike, Russia claims more were downed.\">weakening electronic warfare capabilities<\/a>. He warned that\u200d there may be more attacks in the future.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ukrainian officials, Russian forces also targeted port\u2063 infrastructure on the Danube River\u2062 in\u2063 southern \u200dUkraine with\u2062 exploding drones. This attack resulted in seven people being \u200dwounded and the \u200bdestruction of \u2063a grain hangar and other cargo storage. Ukrainian forces managed to down \u200cthree of the attacking drones.<\/p>\n<p>The Kremlin\u2062 has described these strikes as retribution for Ukraine&#8217;s previous attack on the Kerch Bridge, which connects \u2062Russia with\u2064 Crimea. Ukrainian \u2062President Volodymyr \u200bZelenskyy\u2063 defended\u200b the attack on the bridge, stating that it was a legitimate target due to Russia&#8217;s use of it for \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-charges-chinese-national-with-stealing-american-tech\/\" title=\"DOJ Charges Chinese National With Stealing American Tech\">military purposes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since Moscow canceled a grain deal\u2064 with Ukraine, \u200bRussia has launched repeated attacks \u200con \u2062Odesa, a key hub for exporting grain.
