A building was hit in Saratov, a city located near Russia’s Engels air base.
A new video purportedly shows the moment a drone attacked a high rise building in Russia, hundreds of miles from the frontline in Ukraine.
Mash was among the Russian Telegram channels that posted footage of what it said was a drone hitting the 38th floor of Saratov’s tallest building at about 6 a.m. on Monday and the smoky aftermath. It said at least 20 cars were damaged after rubble fell directly onto a parking lot next to the building.
Although the clip appeared to show a direct hit by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Saratov Governor Roman Busargin said that “debris” had fallen on the building, which is nearly 400 feet high.
A spokesperson for Ukraine’s defense ministry told Newsweek: “We do not comment on what is happening in Russia.”
Busargin posted on Telegram about how Russian air defenses had eliminated drone attacks on Saratov and the nearby Engels air base eight miles away.
