Eyewitnesses described shattered windows on several floors, damage to the building’s exterior, and several parked vehicles catching fire.
Officials also noted that a nearby school has been converted into a temporary refuge for those displaced by the attack.
The governor further stated that the strike inflicted significant harm on an industrial facility in the vicinity, although he did not disclose the exact site affected.
Earlier, authorities in Voronezh Region issued warnings about “the threat of a direct UAV strike.” Governor Aleksandr Gusev reported that alert systems were activated in response to approaching drones.
