Drone hits upscale Moscow tower as Russian capital readies for Victory Day parade

No casualties were reported as air defences intercepted two other drones and emergency crews responded to visible damage on the tower.

  • On Monday, a drone from Ukraine struck a residential building in Moscow, Russian Telegram reported. Sergey Sobyanin, Moscow's mayor, confirmed the attack on the Mosfilm Tower with no casualties sustained.
  • Russian officials have significantly tightened security in Moscow ahead of Victory Day, with the Kremlin announcing the parade would not feature military vehicles due to the 'current operational situation.'
  • The drone struck seven kilometres west of the Kremlin and three kilometres from the Russian Defence Ministry. Videos show the drone flying low, while photos reveal damage to the Mosfilm Tower's upper floors.
  • Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service said parade preparations are occurring 'in a mode more similar to a military lockdown than a celebration,' while Russian authorities reported hundreds of air defence systems have arrived in Moscow.
  • The Kremlin proposed a Victory Day parade ceasefire, though Russian officials refuse contact with Kyiv, following Russia's short ceasefire announcement for Easter earlier in April.
