Yury Slyusar reported via Telegram that a two-storey building in the village of Dolotinka, Rostov, sustained damage from the drone strike, which caused a floor slab to collapse, resulting in the death of a retired woman and former teacher.
Slyusar also noted that the threat of further drone attacks persists in the Rostov region, with all forces on high alert to counter any enemy actions. He mentioned that 20 residents were evacuated from the building.
Additionally, a man was injured by shrapnel in a separate drone attack in a district of the Moscow region, as reported by Russia's TASS news agency.
This incident occurred amid ongoing Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, overnight, which left 19 people wounded, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. He added that 14 individuals were hospitalized due to the attacks.
The strikes also caused damage to railways, leading to delays of up to two hours for passenger trains, as reported by Ukraine's national railway company.
More than three years into Russia's military offensive in Ukraine, fighting continues unabated, with attempts at a truce remaining stalled.
