Drones attacked the Russian city of Bryansk. The military reported destroying all targets, but an apartment building in the city sustained damage, according to Bryansk governor Alexander Bogomaz and Mash.

Russian governor noted that according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, air defense forces detected and destroyed four aircraft-type drones.

However, Bogomaz indicated that a drone allegedly struck an apartment building in the city. One resident suffered injuries as a result of the attack.

“Windows, a balcony, and the facade of the building were damaged on one of the floors. Operational and emergency services are working at the scene. Information about the consequences is being clarified,” he stated.

Russian social media published photos and videos of the incident.
