He alleged the attack hit an industrial facility, causing an administrative building to catch fire, adding that there were no casualties.

The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that air defense systems intercepted two drones over the city, one of which was destroyed in the air.

The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the claims.

There are frequent reports of drone attacks in Bryansk and the surrounding region, which is located around 100 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
