Description

Moscow region governor Andrei Vorobyov was seen inspecting a residential building damaged following a reported overnight UAV attack in Russia’s Ramenskoye on Tuesday.

Footage also shows burnt-out apartments, a heavily damaged building exterior and debris scattered on the ground. The video also features Vorobyov speaking with emergency employees at the scene and visiting the city's hospital to meet with and reassure survivors.

"Don't worry, OK? It's not life-threatening, thank God," Vorobyov is heard saying." I'm coming to your wedding. Would you invite me?" he joked.

The governor also said that a 'rented apartment or a hotel' room would be made available for those whose homes had been completely destroyed.

Vorobyov earlier reported via his Telegram channel that a 46-year-old woman killed in Ramenskoye and eight people injured following the attack, while 43 residents had been provided with temporary accommodation. He also said that Russian air defences had shot down 14 drones in the districts in five urban districts in the Moscow region.

According to the Russian Defence Ministry, 'operational air defence means destroyed and intercepted 144 Ukrainian aircraft-type UAVs' over the country's territory overnight from Monday into Tuesday, with 20 of them over the Moscow region.

Three Moscow airports - Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky - were reported to have been closed temporarily, with 48 flights diverted. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that debris from a downed UAV near Zhukovsky airport was being cleared.

The Ukrainian side has not commented on the reported drone attacks at time of publication. It has previously denied targeting civilian infrastructure.

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.

Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
