9/11 style attack by Ukraine: Ukrainian drones crash into residential building in Kazan, Russia

The dramatic visuals from Kazan showed the drones crashing into the residential tower forcing an evacuation of the residents.

On Saturday, December 21, several explosives-laden drones hit residential buildings in Russia’s Kazan, setting fire to the buildings. The attack was an eerie reminder of 9/11 attacks in New York when hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers of World Trade Centre.

The dramatic visuals from Kazan showed the drones crashing into the residential tower forcing an evacuation of the residents. Emergency services were dispatched to the sites of the attack. As of now, there are no reports of any casualties from the attack.

Following the attack, Kazan has suspended flights from Kazan Airport temporarily as they deal with the aftermath of the attack.

Earlier Russia had shot down a Ukrainian drone over the Republic of Tatarstan. Kazan is the capital of Tartarstan.

Notably, the dangerous drone attack from Ukraine comes as the Russia-Ukraine war, which started in February 2022, has been going on for almost 3 years now.

The residential buildings in Kazan were targeted using several drones. While Russia managed to bring down one of the drones, the other 8 managed to get through and attack Kazan.
