The drone attack on Moscow on May 30 was likely aimed at the homes of Russian intelligence officers.

This is reported by the American television channel NBC News with reference to an American official and an employee of the Congress, who are aware of this issue.

They believe that the drone attacks were aimed at the residence of Russian intelligence officers in Moscow. At least one of the apartment buildings hit by drone strikes is linked to the Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS). The building belongs to a Russian state budget agency that has contracts with the military, which is a front for the Foreign Intelligence Service.

It is unclear whether the home of any FIS officers was damaged or whether any Russian intelligence personnel were injured.

The drone attack on May 30 was the first attack on a residential area of Moscow.
