Drone crashes into building in Russia's Voronezh city; 3 injured
Three people were lightly wounded after a drone crashed into a residential building in Russia's Voronezh city, the regional governor said. The latest drone attack to target Russian cities in recent weeks comes as Ukraine has been intensifying its efforts to expel Russian forces from a vast swath of southern and eastern Ukraine that they invaded more than 15 months ago on orders from President Vladimir Putin. In a Telegram post, regional Governor Alexander Gusev said the three residents were hurt by shards of glass from broken windows, and received help on the spot. Russian state media published photos showing a high-rise apartment building with some windows blown out and damage to the facade. Such drone strikes – which have previously hit residential areas in southern Krasnodar and even one at the Kremlin – along with cross-border raids in southwestern Russia, have exposed glaring breaches in Russian air defences and porous border security.
