Russia accidentally drops bombs on own village as missiles continue to bombard Ukraine
A Russian aircraft accidentally bombed a village in the Voronezh region of the country as the Kremlin continues an all-out assault on major Ukrainian cities.
The warplane responsible for the friendly-fire was reportedly forced to make an «emergency release» on Tuesday while flying over the Russian village of Petropavlovka.
«At around 9:00 a.m. on January 2, while an Air Force plane was flying over the village of Petropavlovka in the Voronezh Region, there was an emergency release of aviation munitions,» said Russia’s Defense Ministry, according to translations from the Moscow Times.
Petropavlovka is approximately 93 miles east of the Russian-Ukrainian border.

The Defense Ministry claimed there were no casualties caused by the accidental bombing, but at least six buildings were struck, according to the Moscow Times.
«I tasked my colleagues in the Voronezh region government to swiftly address issues concerning compensation payments and the construction of new housing,» Voronezh Governor Aleksander Gusev said, according to the translations. «Our commitment is to ensure no one is overlooked.»
