Moscow hit in Drone Strike

Moscow Targeted in Major Drone Attack

Moscow came under attack from at least eight drones early Tuesday morning, Russian officials said, signaling that the Russian capital is no longer entirely shielded from the war in Ukraine.

Russia’s Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of carrying out the “terrorist attack,” but said all eight drones were shot down or had their systems jammed. Mykhailo Podolyak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelesnky, claimed Ukraine was not “directly involved” but was “watching with pleasure.”

Two people were injured, three apartment buildings were damaged, and a number of apartment blocks were evacuated, Moscow’s mayor said. One drone exploded into a mushroom cloud near the village of Usovo, which is just down the road from Putin’s official Novo-Ogaryovo residence. And now crazy Putin wants Lindsey Graham arrested.

We, the United States, still hold the position that planes and troops should not enter Russia. You either are fighting a war or not. This is a war without it really being a war?
