A Ukrainian drone struck a high-rise apartment building in the city of Cheboksary, Chuvashia Republic. Judging by the very slow speed, the drone was affected by Russian electronic warfare. At least 20 drones attacked the city this morning following the combined missile and drone attack overnight. Of these, multiple impacted, possibly targeting the "VNIIR-PROGRESS" defence plant again.
