MOSCOW (AA) - At least three people were injured in a Ukrainian drone attack on a residential building in Russia’s city of Voronezh on Friday, according to the governor.

“According to preliminary data, an unmanned aerial vehicle attacked a residential building on Belinsky Street in Voronezh. … Three people got hit with shrapnel, while they refused to be hospitalized,” Voronezh Governor Aleksandr Gusev said on Telegram.

The Russian media reported that the building was damaged on the second and third floors, which led to partial destruction of several apartments.

Special and rescue services are working at the place of the incident, Gusev also said.

Ukraine’s armed forces have reportedly unleashed a series of attacks on Russia's border regions in recent months, notably Bryansk and Belgorod, which were hit with drones and artillery, according to Moscow.
