What we know
Building facade damage was reported. The damage extent and injury situation are not independently assessed here.

What remains unknown
No drone model, exact count or authenticated footage is supplied. The marker represents Moscow, not an exact building position.
Operator attribution: Suspected. Russian officials blamed Ukraine; operator responsibility is not independently established here. [1][2]
