Drone crashes into residential building in Russia’s Voronezh, Kremlin responds
A drone crashed into a multi-story building in Voronezh, Russia, on June 9, oblast governor Alexander Gusev reported on Telegram on June 9.
Photos of the residential complex allegedly damaged during the attack appeared on Telegram. Preliminary information suggests the drone may have been flying towards the Baltimor airfield but collided with a window of a residential building, reported pro-Russian channel Baza.
The governor reported three injuries.
Emergency services are currently working at the scene.
Russia was quick to blame Ukraine, with Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, making the accusation, Russian propagandist media reported.
"The Kyiv regime continues to attack civilian infrastructure and residential buildings. The activities of the Kyiv regime persist, and we continue to fight against it," Peskov lied.
In the early morning of May 30, unidentified drones attacked Moscow. The UAVs struck at least three multi-story buildings, Russian media reported.
More than ten drones were shot down in the suburbs, reported Baza, with the majority in the districts of Istra, Krasnogorsk, and Odintsovo.
Commenting on the drone strike in Moscow, Mykhailo Podoliak, an advisor to the Head of the President’s Office, cryptically stated that the drones "want to return to their creators." He emphasized that Ukraine has no connection to the attack.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
