Several people were injured in the Tambov region of Russia due to a drone attack on apartment buildings, causing damage and triggering local security measures.
On January 11, 2025, a drone strike hit two multi-story apartment buildings in the Tambov region of Russia, injuring several individuals with flying glass shards. Local authorities are currently assessing the full extent of the damage caused by the attack.
According to Yevhen Pervyshov, the acting governor of the Tambov region, the drones targeted buildings in the town of Kotovsk. The strike occurred late on the night of January 11, with several residents reportedly injured by glass fragments from the buildings’ windows. The injured individuals received immediate treatment, though their injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
Despite the injuries, local authorities confirmed there were no fires following the attack, and the damage to the buildings was minimal. Pervyshov assured residents that efforts to assess and repair the damage are already underway. He also stated that the region’s security services are on high alert, taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the local population.
The drone strike on Kotovsk is part of a broader pattern of similar incidents across Russia. That same night, several other regions, including Voronezh, Kursk, Saratov, Lipetsk, and Novorossiysk, also experienced drone attacks. Reports from local residents indicate that air defense systems were activated, and explosions were heard in some of these areas, though specific details about damage or casualties in other regions remain unclear.
Local officials in Tambov have emphasized that their operational services are fully engaged in managing the situation and addressing any further threats. With the security services in place and the region on high alert, it is expected that recovery and safety measures will continue in the coming days.
