Moscow Cigar Shop Damaged in Drone Strike

Earlier this week, one of Moscow’s oldest cigar shops was damaged as part of an alleged drone strike on the Russian capital.

Reports show the exterior of a shop called Гавана, the Russian word for “Havana,” was damaged by what has been described as a Ukrainian drone strike. Russian reports indicate that two residential buildings were damaged by Ukrainian drones on Monday, July 24. Гавана is located on the street level of one of those buildings.

With the drones from today’s attack on Moscow nearly reaching vital MoD buildings, we have to ask ourselves:

“What air defense doing?”

It seems as though the EW effort to defend Moscow was more effective though, as the drones missed their intended targets. https://t.co/71Y6Bgt63I pic.twitter.com/P0YhVPUz89

One of the images shows the damaged windows and framed artwork depicting the Ashton VSG band. The store is located at Комсомольский пр 17, Москва.

Russian officials said that two drones hit residential buildings around 4:00 a.m. local time on Monday; they reported no injuries.
