Three people were killed and five injured following drone attacks in Russia's Moscow region, according to regional governor Andrey Vorobyov. The casualties occurred when a drone crashed in the city of Istra, approximately 40 kilometers west of the capital.
Vorobyov reported on the messaging service Telegram that three individuals lost their lives and three others sustained injuries in the Istra incident. An additional two people were wounded in a separate drone-related event elsewhere in the region. The governor did not specify who is suspected of carrying out the attacks.
In a separate incident earlier the same night, a drone attack reportedly triggered a fire in an industrial area in the Stavropol region of southern Russia. Regional governor Vladimir Vladimirov stated on Telegram that the drone threat was being repelled and that emergency services were on site. He confirmed there were no injuries in the Stavropol incident but warned that the drone threat remained active throughout the region, urging residents to remain vigilant.
The drone threat remains valid in the entire region. Be attentive and careful.
