In contrast, the local governor, Kondratiev, made a statement that the mayor of Krasnodar informed him about damage caused by a UAV to the Tsentralnyi residential complex. According to the report, a Ukrainian drone was allegedly shot down over the city, and its debris fell onto the technical extension on the 19th floor of the building.
