KYIV - Drones hit several buildings in Moscow on Tuesday (May 30) causing minor damage and forcing some people to evacuate their homes, Russian officials said, while Russia launched another wave of flying bombs on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv killing one person.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the apparent attack on Moscow, which one pro-Kremlin television commentator said, without citing sources, involved about 25 unmanned aircraft.

The incident comes weeks after two drones exploded over the Kremlin - an attack Russia has blamed on Ukraine although Kyiv has denied responsibility - and follows intense Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities this month.

Andrei Vorobyov, governor of the Moscow region, said on the Telegram messaging channel that several drones were shot down on their approach to Moscow. Two people sought medical assistance and none were seriously injured, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.

Russia's RIA state news agency reported that some residents of a building on Profsoyuznaya Street in the city's south were being evacuated. Reuters was not able to independently verify the reports.
