Russia acknowledged accidentally bombing a village in its southern Voronezh region near Ukraine on Tuesday, emphasizing no casualties occurred.
This mishap coincided with a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine by Russia on the same day. This incident isn’t the initial one during Moscow’s nearly two-year-long offensive in Ukraine.
“On January 2, 2024, at around 9 am Moscow time (GMT), during a flight of the Aerospace Forces, an abnormal discharge of aircraft ammunition occurred over the village of Petropavlovka in the Voronezh region,” the Russian army said in a statement quoted by Russian news agencies.
“There are no casualties,” it added.
Petropavlovka is situated approximately 150 kilometers (93 miles) to the east of the Ukraine border.
According to Russian news agencies, the ministry stated that six private houses were damaged in the incident.
“An investigation into the circumstances of the incident is underway. A commission is working on the ground to assess the nature of the damage and provide assistance to restoring houses,” the statement read.
Alexander Gusev, the governor of the Voronezh region, mentioned that several residents from Petropavlovka have been relocated to temporary housing.
He confirmed no casualties but noted “damage was observed in seven households.”
