  • A Ukrainian drone hit a residential building in Russia’s Perm region, killing one civilian and injuring four people, authorities said.
  • Russian officials reported that air defenses destroyed 27 drones locally, while the Defense Ministry said 306 Ukrainian drones were intercepted across 17 regions, Crimea and nearby seas.

A Ukrainian drone struck a residential building in Russia’s Perm region, killing one civilian and injuring four others, according to regional authorities and local media. The attack took place in the European part of Russia, west of the Urals.

Perm Governor Dmitry Makhonin said the building had been damaged and that the injured were receiving medical care. He said Russian air defenses and mobile units had repelled a “massive attack by enemy drones” and brought down 27 unmanned aircraft. The governor ordered local authorities to evacuate affected residents to temporary accommodation and allocate funds to repair damaged homes.

The independent Russian channel Astra published video showing a drone approaching the building, striking it and exploding. Local media reported damage to five floors of the building.

Ukrainian channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+ said the apparent target was Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez, one of Russia’s largest refineries. Authorities did not confirm that information. The refinery can process more than 13 million tonnes of crude oil a year and was also attacked on Aug. 21, when a preliminary oil-processing facility was damaged.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses had intercepted and destroyed 306 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones overnight across 17 Russian regions, the annexed Crimean Peninsula and the Black and Azov seas.
