A sudden, violent impact shattered the evening calm in Novaya Adygea, a village in southern Russia. A Ukrainian drone slammed into a residential apartment block, instantly igniting a blaze that threatened to consume everything in its path.
Eleven people, including two children, suffered injuries in the attack, according to local officials. The initial strike sparked a wider fire, quickly spreading to a nearby parking lot and engulfing vehicles in flames.
Eyewitness accounts describe a series of deafening explosions that ripped through the village. The force of the impact left a trail of destruction, visibly scarring the apartment building’s facade and obliterating several balconies.
Images circulating online paint a grim picture of the aftermath: twisted metal, charred remains, and a community reeling from the unexpected assault. At least twelve apartments and approximately twenty vehicles sustained significant damage.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting a total of fifty-three drones. Seven of those were neutralized over the Krasnodar Region, the area bordering the Adygea Republic where the devastating strike occurred.
The scene in Novaya Adygea is one of chaos and concern, as residents grapple with the immediate aftermath and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. The attack serves as a stark reminder of the escalating conflict and its reach into civilian life.
