A wave of explosions rattled the city of Voronezh, a major urban center hundreds of kilometers from the Ukrainian border, leaving at least four people injured. The attack, unfolding on Sunday, targeted residential areas, shattering the sense of security for thousands.
Regional authorities confirmed that Ukrainian kamikaze drones were responsible for the strikes, impacting both towering apartment blocks and smaller, private homes. The scale of the damage is significant, with seven high-rise buildings and six individual houses sustaining damage from the assault.
Governor Aleksandr Gusev reported that emergency services swiftly transported four injured individuals to hospitals for treatment. The immediate priority is providing medical care and assessing the full extent of the injuries sustained by those caught in the attack.
While the assault caused widespread alarm, authorities claim a substantial defense was mounted. Seventeen drones were reportedly intercepted by air defense systems and electronic warfare capabilities, preventing even greater devastation.
Reports from local residents paint a picture of intense activity in the skies above Voronezh. Numerous Telegram channels relayed accounts of over thirty separate explosions, suggesting a coordinated and sustained drone attack on the city.
