Ukrainian drones attacked the Russian city of Voronezh, Voronezh oblast governor Alexander Gusev said on Telegram on Jan. 16.
“An attack by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles was repelled over Voronezh by air defense systems,” Gusev wrote.
There were no casualties. A fire on the balcony of one apartment building was extinguished, and windows were broken in two other residential buildings and several private houses.
Russian air defense forces shot down three Ukrainian drones, according to a statement from Russian Defense Ministry.
The first reports of explosions appeared in local Telegram channels around 1:30 a.m. on Jan 16, citing information from residents. According to locals, flashes, likely from air defense, were seen in the sky and the sounds of drones were heard.
In total 15 explosions were audible in various districts of the city. One Voronezh resident described waking up to something “flying into the window.” According to him, the explosions resulted in a broken window.
On Dec. 12 a fuel tank was destroyed in an explosion at an oil depot in Voronezh.
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.
