The attack led to temporary air travel restrictions at Saratov’s international airport.
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war shows no signs of ending soon, with daily reports of devastation emerging from the battlefield. The conflict has now encroached on residential areas, affecting ordinary citizens. A recent video has surfaced, capturing footage of a Ukrainian drone striking a residential building in Saratov. The attack bears a chilling resemblance to the way planes collided with the World Trade Centre during the 9/11 attacks.
The Russian regional health ministry told Sputnik, “Four people were injured after a drone attack on the Russian city of Saratov, including one woman who was hospitalised in serious condition.”.
“One woman was hospitalised in serious condition in one of the medical institutions of the city of Saratov. Three injured persons received assistance on the spot,” it said.
Several social media handles shared a video on X, showing the aftermath of a drone strike on a high-rise apartment building in Saratov. The attack caused significant damage and disrupted air travel in the region.

Earlier, Saratov Region Governor Roman Busargin said that debris from destroyed drones had hit residential buildings in Saratov and neighbouring Engels, adding that one woman was hospitalised in serious condition.
The 9/11 attacks occurred on September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Centre in Lower Manhattan, New York City, was destroyed in a devastating terrorist attack. These were four coordinated Islamist terrorist suicide attacks carried out by al-Qaeda against the United States.
