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.
