A child suffered minor injuries when debris from a downed drone hit an apartment in Voronezh, Governor Alexander Gusev said. According to him, the girl, born in 2013, has cuts on her hands, legs and neck. According to the Kommersant newspaper, a fire broke out in the affected apartment. Pictures of the charred apartment appeared on social media.
“According to preliminary information, 35 apartments in three ten-story buildings were damaged. Now experts are installing temporary glazing,” Gusev said, according to Interfax. The town hall provided temporary accommodation at the school for the residents of the damaged apartments, where they could warm up.
About 16 explosions were heard in Voronezh at night, the Ukrainian server TSN reported. “The balcony fire in an apartment building was extinguished. “Windows were broken in two more residential buildings and several private houses,” Gusev wrote in a telegram.
