The press service of Tatarstan's governor, Rustam Minnikhanov,
said that eight drones attacked the city. Six hit residential
buildings, one hit an industrial facility and one was shot down
over a river, the statement said.
A video posted on local Telegram news channel Astra, verified by
The Associated Press, shows a drone flying into the upper floors
of a high-rise building.
Local authorities said there were no casualties. Flights were
halted at Kazan’s airport and all mass gatherings canceled on
Saturday and Sunday.
The attacks, which Ukraine didn’t acknowledge in keeping with
its security policy, comes after a Ukrainian attack Friday on a
town in Russia’s Kursk border region using U.S.-supplied
missiles killed six people, including a child.
Moscow sent 113 drones into Ukraine overnight into Saturday,
Ukrainian officials said. According to Ukraine’s Air Force, 57
drones were shot down during the attacks. A further 56 drones
were “lost,” likely having been electronically jammed.
The governor of Ukraine's Kharkiv region, Oleh Syniehubov, said
eight people were wounded Friday night in drone attacks on the
regional capital, also called Kharkiv.
