One killed in Ukraine drone attacks on Russia

 Russian officials say they shot down 144 Ukrainian drones around the country overnight in a wave of attacks that have killed one woman, set residential buildings on fire and grounded flights in Moscow.

The governor of Moscow, Andrei Vorobyov, said several flats in two high-rise apartment buildings in Ramenskoye in Moscow region were set on fire.

Mr Vorobyov said a 46-year-old woman died and three people were injured in Ra­menskoye, while 43 people were evacuated to temporary accommodation centres.

Ukraine has so far not commented on the attacks, but the Kremlin on Tuesday said the attack showed Ukraine was Russia’s enemy.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmit­ry Peskov said in a daily call with reporters that the strike showed the need for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine, saying: “We must continue the military operation in order to protect ourselves from such displays of this regime.”
