27 November 2023, 03:08 PM

There was a fire overnight at the five-story barrack building of the Kantemirovskaya Division in Naro-Fominsk, Moscow Oblast, the Russian Telegram news channel ASTRA reported on Nov. 27. 

The Russian authorities claim that there were no casualties as a result of the fire.

The barracks of the 275th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment of the Kantemirovskaya Division were hit during an overnight attack by a UAV, according to ASTRA. The drone struck a window on the 4th floor. As a result, a fire broke out in the building over an area of 20 square meters.

The authorities concealed the fact of the fire. Instead, they reported the "successful neutralization" of the UAV in Moscow Oblast, the news outlet writes.

These are not the first fires at Russian military facilities caused by drone attacks in recent days. On Nov. 16, a large-scale fire broke out at a military unit in Kotluban, Russia. The same unit in Volgograd Oblast of the Russian Federation was attacked by UAVs again on Nov. 24.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
