A 57-year-old man was killed in the Moscow region town of Podolsk in a late afternoon Ukrainian drone attack, Moscow region Governor Andrei Vorobyov said Thursday.
The fatal incident occurred in the Klimovsk neighborhood of Podolsk some 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Moscow.
A 37-year-old woman also sustained injuries during the attack.
Vorobyov said three vehicles also caught fire before firefighters extinguished the blaze, and window glass was shattered in a nearby residential apartment building.
Civil aviation authorities temporarily suspended arrivals and departures at Domodedovo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky airports to ensure flight safety during the air raid alert.
In western Siberia’s Omsk region, Governor Vitaly Hotsenko said Ukrainian drones attacked a “northern industrial hub” after eyewitness reports indicated that Russia’s largest oil refinery was targeted.
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.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
