Three people were killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on the central Vladimir region, the local governor said Tuesday.
Vladimir region Governor Alexander Adveev said a child and his parents were killed when a drone crashed into their apartment. A second child, a girl, survived but was hospitalized for burns, he added.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it intercepted three Ukrainian drones in the Vladimir region between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Overall, 45 drones were destroyed across Russian regions overnight, most of which were downed in the skies above the Leningrad region. Ukraine has targeted oil terminals in the northwestern region multiple times in recent weeks in a bid to deprive the Kremlin of windfalls from surging oil prices.
In the southern Voronezh region, a man was hospitalized for burns after a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at a warehouse, authorities said.
Airports across Russia introduced temporary flight restrictions amid the overnight air attacks.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, a Russian drone attack on a bus in the frontline city of Nikopol killed three people and wounded 12 others.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
