KRASNOGORSK: A Ukraine drone crashed into an apartment block in a Moscow suburb on Friday, wounding a young boy and four others, officials said, as both countries traded another night of aerial strikes.
In a rare strike close to the Russian capital, the drone hit the 14th floor of a residential building in Krasnogorsk, on the western edge of Moscow, the governor of the Moscow region, Andrey Vorobyov, said on Telegram.
AFP reporters saw a hole in the building’s facade and rubble inside one destroyed apartment.
“The bang was loud,” local resident Maxim told AFP, adding that it sounded “almost identical” to a car crash.
Russia’s defense ministry said it downed 111 Ukrainian drones overnight, most of them over the southern region of Rostov. Nobody was wounded, but the strikes cut power to at least 1,500 residents, Governor Yuri Slyusar said.
