On the night of April 15, Kursk suffered a large-scale drone attack. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the alleged downing of 109 drones over the Kursk region, and another six over the Voronezh, Moscow, Bryansk and Oryol regions. This is reported by rosZMI.
“As a result, they “knocked everything down” with the civilian infrastructure, saving the military. At the same time, there are results on the ground precisely in industrial zones, which indicates the accuracy of strikes where air defense did not reach. We are waiting for details from the defense forces.” – noted Petro Andryushchenko, former adviser to the mayor of Mariupol and head of the Center for the Study of the Occupation.
The local authorities and operational headquarters in the Kursk region reported a fire in several residential buildings, the death of an 85-year-old woman, several victims and the evacuation of residents. Serious destruction was recorded in a multi-story building on Zavodska Street — the eighth and ninth floors were engulfed in fire.
