Drone attack sparks fire at high-rise building in Voronezh, Russia

On October 26, 2026, in Voronezh, Russia, video footage captured a large fire at a high-rise building following a reported overnight drone attack. In the video, bright orange flames and thick, pale smoke rise from the lower-to-middle section of the tower, illuminating the surrounding buildings against the twilight sky. According to regional authorities, Russian air defense forces intercepted 113 drones over the Voronezh region overnight and into the morning, including more than 70 over the city. Governor Alexander Gusev reported that two men, born in 1960 and 1973, were killed and 17 people, including one child, were injured. Several passengers were also reportedly injured when drone debris struck a passenger train in the city's left-bank suburbs, with two people seriously wounded. The attack reportedly sparked fires at several locations, including a business center and an apartment building. Building facades and windows were also damaged across multiple districts.
