Russian missiles hit apartment block and Ukrainian security service building in Dnipro

A Ukrainian presidential adviser has warned Russia of more drone attacks after successive strikes in Moscow this week.

Mykhailo Podolyak took to Twitter to issue a warning on Tuesday, just hours after a skyscraper in Moscow was hit by a drone strike for the second time in days.

He warned that Russia would face “more unidentified drones, more more collapse, more civil conflicts, more war”.

Mr Podolyak said: “Moscow is rapidly getting used to a full-fledged war, which, in turn, will soon finally move to the territory of the “authors of the war” to collect all their debts... Everything that will happen in Russia is an objective historical process. More unidentified drones, more collapse, more civil conflicts, more war.”

Ukraine almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia or on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine, but has increasingly highlighted how destroying Russia’s military infrastructure helps Kyiv’s counteroffensive.

This comes as a 10-year-old girl and her mother were among at least six people killed after two Russian ballistic missiles struck an apartment complex and a university building in Zelensky’s hometown yesterday.
