A Ukrainian drone attacked a police station overnight in Russia’s western Bryansk region, local authorities said early Monday.
"Ukrainian forces attacked the district of Trubchevsky at night," Bryansk Governor Alexander Bogomaz said on the Telegram messaging app.
"A drone hit the police station in this district. There are no victims," but the windows and roof of the building were damaged, he added.
The overnight drone strike in Bryansk comes just a day after Russian authorities said they had downed multiple Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow and the annexed peninsula of Crimea in attacks that damaged two office towers in the capital and briefly shut down the Vnukovo international airport.
One drone targeting Moscow was shot down on the city's outskirts and two others were "suppressed by electronic warfare" and smashed into an office complex, the Russian Defense Ministry said, adding that there were no injuries.
Earlier this month, an elderly woman was killed in the shelling of a village on the Bryansk region’s border with northeastern Ukraine. Three other residents, including a 16-year-old boy, were hospitalized with injuries.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
