Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said that several buildings in the city sustained “minor damage” as the result of the drone attack but that “nobody was seriously injured.” “All emergency services are at the affected sites. They’re investigating the circumstances of the incident,” he wrote on Telegram. He later added that two people sought medical care but that nobody required hospitalization. Some residents of the buildings which were hit by drones had to evacuate. A criminal case has been opened under Article 205 of the Criminal Code (an act of terrorism).
