A Ukrainian drone assault ignited non-residential buildings in the Russian border region of Bryansk, announced Governor Alexander Bogomaz on Sunday. Emergency responders and firefighters swiftly arrived at the scene, he disclosed via the Telegram app, though he provided limited details.
Earlier, Bogomaz mentioned on Telegram that Russian air defense managed to neutralize 14 Ukrainian drones over Bryansk overnight. These claims by the governor remain unverifiable by Reuters. Ukraine has not issued any immediate statement regarding the attack.
Kyiv frequently justifies such drone operations on Russian soil as tactical strikes against infrastructure vital for Russia's military operations. These are seen as retaliatory moves against Russia's ongoing aggression toward Ukrainian territory.
