More than 300 people were evacuated from their apartments overnight following a Ukrainian drone attack on the capital of the Rostov region, the acting governor said on Tuesday.
Russia’s defence ministry reported that its air defence units destroyed 13 Ukrainian drones over the Rostov region overnight, without specifying how many were initially detected.
"An unexploded (drone) shell was discovered in one of the apartments," Rostov region's acting governor, Yuri Slyusar, said on the Telegram messaging app. "As a precaution, 320 residents of the building are being evacuated."
The strike damaged several apartment buildings in Rostov-on-Don, leaving three people, including a child, with minor injuries.
Rostov-on-Don Mayor Alexandr Skryabin said residents were temporarily relocated to a school while bomb disposal teams worked to remove the shell.
There was no immediate comment from Kyiv.
