A raid involving multiple kamikaze aircraft has left 24 injured, the regional governor has said
Two videos circulating online appear to show the moment a Ukrainian drone struck a residential building in the Russian city of Voronezh during a raid early Tuesday.
According to Voronezh Region Governor Aleksandr Gusev, the attack involved multiple explosive-laden drones and left 24 people injured. A 56-year-old man is in a coma and two other victims are in serious condition, Gusev said in his latest public update.
A dashcam video shared by Russian media appears to show the drone diving into a five-story residential building in central Voronezh, around 1km from the regional government headquarters. The video shows an explosion following the impact. Another clip shot from a more distant residential tower apparently shows the same strike from afar.
Gusev said the drone raid involved multiple aircraft and damaged 12 apartment blocs, three standalone private homes, and other property including a business center.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that 55 Ukrainian drones launched overnight into Russia were intercepted, with more than half downed over Belgorod Region, which borders Ukraine.
