The attack inflicted damage on 10 private buildings, a café, a post office, a store, and several cars in the village.

Simultaneously, Ukraine conducted a large-scale drone offensive on Moscow and its vicinity, deploying 620 drones in the early hours of Tuesday. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin disclosed that Russian forces intercepted 180 drones over Moscow, with some causing damage, including injuries to three individuals near the city.

Responding to the drone attacks, Russia warned Britain about consequences for supplying drones to Ukraine. The Russian embassy in London cautioned of repercussions for London’s involvement in supporting Ukraine against Russia. The British Defence Ministry reiterated its solidarity with Ukraine, emphasizing its commitment to supplying necessary equipment for defense against the Russian invasion.
