KTLA FIVE'S PEDRO RIVERA JOINING US HERE IN THE STUDIO WITH MORE ON THE DEVELOPING STORY HIGH HAGUE LEATHER LOOP FOR WELL OVER A YEAR THE WORLD HAS WITNESSED STRIKES AGAINST UKRAINE BY RUSSIA WELL ON TUESDAY, WE'RE GETTING A GLIMPSE OF THE LATEST ATTACK, BUT THIS TIME ALL RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN MOSCOW AS UKRAINE DENIES BEING INVOLVED AT ALL. >> BEFORE DAWN TUESDAY MORNING RESIDENTS HEARD EXPLOSIONS OVER MOSCOW, IT WAS THE SOUND OF THE LATEST DRONE STRIKE AGAINST THE KREMLIN BUT I HEARD THE PROPELLER SOUND AT 05:10AM AND THEN A LOUD BANG, THE SOUND OF FALLING BROKEN GLASS AND DEBRIS FELL. POLICE CAME THEY WENT THROUGH THE FLOORS TALK TO EVERYONE CORDON THE AREA OFF TO HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS WERE EVACUATED DUE TO HEAVY DAMAGE THE CITY'S MAYOR SAYS OTHER BUILDINGS ONLY SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE. 2 PEOPLE WERE HOSPITALIZED WITH NON-SERIOUS INJURIES. NO ONE WAS KILLED. SOMEONE TO OPEN THE TO THE WINGS FELL DOWN AND THE BODY LANDED INSIDE THE APARTMENT. THERE ARE 3 YOUNG GIRLS IN THE APARTMENT. THANK GOD, NOTHING EXPLODED VIDEO TAKEN TUESDAY IN MOSCOW SHOW WHAT LOOKS TO BE EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY. THE RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY SAID IT INTERCEPTED ALL 8 OF THE DRONES THAT DESCENDED ON THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL CITY PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN CALLED THIS AN ACT OF TERRORISM FROM UKRAINE THERE'S BUT THIS DRONE ATTACK DOESN'T BOTHER ME AS MUCH AS ATTEMPTS TO PROVOKE US TAMIR ACTIONS WILL SEE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT HOWEVER ADVISORS FOR UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY SAID THEY WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THE ATTACK. I WENT TO REGARDING ATTACKS, WE'RE PLEASED TO WATCH AND PREDICT AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ATTACKS BUT WE OF COURSE WE HAVE NOTHING DIRECTLY TO DO WITH THIS. THE MOSCOW ATTACK FOLLOWS A SERIES OF DRONE STRIKES ON THE UKRAINIAN CAPITAL OF KIEV HE WAS A TARGET OF AT LEAST 20 DRONE STRIKES IN 24 HOURS ON TUESDAY, INCLUDING ONE OVERNIGHT ATTACK THAT KILLED ONE PERSON HOMEOWNER, MOST MY MY CHILDREN THEY WERE RUNNING TO BOMB SHELTER SCREAMING. THIS IS WHAT CONCERNS US. WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM OF KIEV AND WE'RE CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT IT. U.S. OFFICIALS SAID IN A STATEMENT IT DOES NOT SUPPORT STRIKES INSIDE RUSSIA BUT DID NOTE KIEV HAS BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF 17 RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES IN MAY ALONE ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES THE UNITED STATES COULD PROVIDE ANOTHER 300 MILLION DOLLARS MILITARY PACKAGE
