    A drone hit a building under construction in central Moscow early on Wednesday, the city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, has said, in what AFP reported was the sixth straight night of aerial attacks on Russia’s capital region.

    The Russian military downed two more drones over the western part of the Moscow region, the mayor said on his Telegram channel.

    A loud explosion was heard in the capital’s central district on Wednesday morning, a short while after flights were suspended at the city’s airports, Russia’s RIA news agency reported.

    The news agency published video showing a large plume of white smoke rising from the place where the explosion was heard.

    “At night, air defence forces thwarted another attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack by three aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles on the city of Moscow,” the ministry said.

    Flights at several Moscow airports were also temporarily suspended on Tuesday as a security precaution amid drone attacks, authorities said.
