Three people died and 12 others were wounded, including children, when drones struck the Russian city of Ryazan early Friday morning, according to Regional Governor Pavel Malkov.
“To our great regret, three people have been killed and 12 injured, including children,” Malkov wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
The governor reported that the drone strike caused damage to two high-rise apartment buildings. Falling debris from the drones also struck an unspecified industrial facility in the area, Malkov stated.
Images posted on the unofficial Telegram channel Mash depicted smoke billowing from a high-rise structure and indicated that one building entrance was obstructed, trapping residents inside.
Additional unofficial sources published photos showing multiple apartments engulfed in flames.
The targeted city of Ryazan sits approximately 200 kilometers (120 miles) southeast of Moscow and houses a major oil refinery.
