Ukraine war: Moscow buildings hit in rare drone attack

Russia has accused Ukraine of launching an early morning drone attack on Moscow, the first time the city has been targeted by multiple drones since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The defence ministry said Kyiv staged a "terrorist attack" with at least eight drones causing minor damage.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said no-one was seriously injured. Several drones fell on an exclusive western suburb where senior officials live.

Ukraine has denied the attack.
