Five people were injured in a drone attack in Volgograd.

An apartment building was damaged by a drone in the Traktorozavodsky District of Volgograd, with five injured requiring medical attention. The mayor's office evacuated the building's residents to a temporary shelter.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," following another drone attack in the Volgograd Region on February 25, bomb disposal experts discovered and destroyed seven drones, whose combined weight in TNT equivalent was approximately 200 kilograms. Three people were hospitalized as a result of the attack in the Volgograd Region on the night of February 12-13.

Five residents of a multi-story building at 6 Batova Street in the Traktorozavodsky District of Volgograd were injured in a drone attack late in the evening of March 3. According to the Volgograd Region Governor, a drone "attacked an apartment."

"Five people were injured, no critical injuries, and doctors are providing assistance. Windows in neighboring apartments and nearby buildings were shattered," the regional administration's Telegram channel quotes Andrei Bocharov as saying.

The official added that damage also occurred in the Sredneakhtubinsky District of the Volgograd Region, where three private homes were damaged. Furthermore, the drone crashed in a non-residential area of ​​the Voroshilovsky District.

The Volgograd City Hall, in turn, reported that residents of the building on Batova Street were being transported to a temporary accommodation center set up in School No. 1. They will remain there while emergency services personnel work in the building. "Large-capacity buses have been dispatched to transport residents to the temporary accommodation centers. Sleeping accommodations and hot meals have been arranged for them at the temporary accommodation centers," the city administration's Telegram channel reported.
