Course of the events
30 July
In the early hours of 30 July, two drones entered the Moscow City district. Russian electronic warfare systems suppressed both, causing them to lose control and crash into office buildings in the complex. Windows were blown out across several floors and a security guard was injured by debris. A third drone was intercepted and destroyed over the Odintsovo district on the outskirts of Moscow[7].
1 August
Two days later, another drone struck the same tower that had been hit, impacting at the level of the 21st floor. The attack prompted a temporary suspension of operations at Vnukovo International Airport[8].
23 August
Three drones were involved in the final attack. One came down over the Mozhaisk district of Moscow Oblast, while a second crashed in Khimki, damaging several structures including residential buildings. The third struck the unfinished One Tower skyscraper within the Moscow City complex, causing damage between the 10th and 15th floors and blowing out windows in a neighbouring building. No casualties were reported[9].
