At least two Ukrainian "Beaver" long tail kamikaze drones targeted the Russian Defense Ministry complex in Moscow on the morning of July 24, 2023.

No casualties were reported, but visible damage to buildings is apparent. The identification of the damaged structures varies in different reports. Russian officials claim both drones were subdued by electronic warfare systems. Although no crucial infrastructure or military targets were destroyed, the operation is a reminder to Russia that Ukraine is capable of striking deep within their adversary's borders.
