A Ukrainian drone has crashed into a business center in Grozny, the capital of Russia’s Chechen Republic, local media have reported. Footage has been shared showing the aftermath of the apparent strike, which sparked a fire.
On Friday morning, numerous Russian media outlets published footage of the 145-meter-high building in the city’s downtown, showing many windows smashed and flames visible in one section of the building. The impact appeared to hit somewhere in the middle floors, according to the videos.
Local authorities have yet to comment on the apparent attack, and there has been no information on potential casualties. An RT Russian source in law enforcement, however, confirmed that the attack had been carried out by a Ukrainian drone.
Earlier in the day, Russian air traffic authorities introduced temporary restrictions at Grozny Airport.
