The danger of new drone attacks was declared in Voronezh Oblast on January 21 at 20:37, as reported by Governor Alexander Gusev. Residents are asked to remain calm and trust only official information from authorities and the Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM). Air defense forces are ready to intercept aerial targets. In case of drone attack threats, safety measures must be observed: stay indoors, do not approach windows, and if a drone is spotted, leave its line of sight and call 112. If the danger announcement catches you outside and home is far away, proceed quickly to the nearest building, underground passage, or parking lot.

Last night, Voronezh Oblast was once again attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) – the regional head reported on the consequences on the morning of January 21.
