On January 22, 2026, Russian officials reported that 11 people were injured when a Ukrainian drone struck a residential settlement in the Adygea Republic, near the southern city of Krasnodar.
Local officials released footage showing the aftermath: a damaged apartment building, wrecked vehicles in a parking area, and a blaze ignited by the strike. Emergency crews responded swiftly, working to contain the fire and assist the injured.
Regional authorities said the strike "triggered a fire" and caused significant property damage, though there were no reported fatalities. The incident underscores the growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the conflict and the risks they pose to civilian areas far from front lines.
Ukrainian authorities have not yet commented on the operation. Russian officials are investigating the attack and reviewing security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
