“According to preliminary data, there is no damage or casualties at the site where the debris fell,” Sobyanin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were also no casualties or damage reported in the aftermath of the drone attack on the border Bryansk region in Russia’s southwest, Alexander Bogomaz, the governor of the region wrote on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
