As the war between Russia and Ukraine reaches its 956th day, new drone attacks have been reported by Ukrainian media outlets.
Established in 1917
On October 6, a drone attack reportedly targeted a historic military school in Moscow. The incident was shared via a video on the Telegram channel Sota, showing a pillar of smoke rising over the city skyline.
The attack occurred at the Combined Arms Command School, known as Russia's oldest military institution, established in 1917 and operational ever since, according to L'Independent.
Following the attack, a fire broke out in the Kuzminki district, with reports suggesting that the school was struck by drones, leading to nearby explosions and gunfire-like sounds that residents reported hearing for a brief period.
Eyewitness accounts from local residents described the chaotic scene, with many startled by the noise and the ensuing fire.
Training Ground Forces
This report has not yet been confirmed by Russian media, but if true, it would represent a significant hit for the Russians. The attack coincided with Russian President Vladimir Putin's birthday on October 7, when he turns 72.
This particular military academy has been training personnel for the mechanized and ground forces of the Russian Armed Forces for the past nine years, making it a notable target in the broader context of the war.
While there is still little information about the extent of the damage caused by the attack or any potential casualties, the incident underscores the ongoing volatility in the region.
