A skyscraper located near Russia’s Defence Ministry went up in flames after a strike in the early hours of this morning.

Drones struck two non-residential buildings in Moscow, with authorities accusing Ukraine of launching a ‘terrorist’ attack.

Footage showed the top of the high-rise burning with grey smoke rising in the sky.

Mayor of the capital Sergei Sobyanin confirmed no one was injured in the incident as the military jammed both drones, forcing them to crash.

Another hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting its upper floors.

‘On the morning of July 24, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to launch a terrorist attack using two unmanned aerial vehicles against facilities on the territory of the city of Moscow was thwarted,’ the ministry said on Telegram.

‘Two Ukrainian UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) were suppressed by electronic warfare means and crashed.’
