Moscow: Russia on Sunday accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on Moscow city which damaged two buildings and even forced authorities to shut down the city's airport temporarily.
A drone was shot down over the Odintsovo district, west of the city centre, and two others were neutralised but crashed into offices, Russia's defence ministry was quoted as saying by BBC.
One person was injured due to the blast, reports TASS news agency.
