Residents of a building damaged in a drone attack in Rostov-on-Don are unable to retrieve their belongings from their apartments

Three days after a drone attack, residents of a damaged building in the Leventsovsky microdistrict of Rostov-on-Don are unable to retrieve their belongings. Authorities cited the threat of collapse of the entrance as the reason for refusing to allow residents into their apartments.

As a reminder, on January 14, an aerial attack caused fires in buildings and an industrial facility in Rostov-on-Don. One person died and four, including a four-year-old child, were hospitalized with injuries. That day, the military reported 25 drones shot down in the region.

On January 13, a woman was killed in an attack in Taganrog . Eight residential buildings, two industrial facilities, and six cars were also damaged. Authorities promised assistance to all victims.

Damaged vehicles have repeatedly featured in reports on the consequences of drone attacks in the Rostov Region, but compensation for them was not provided until December 2025. Only after a Taganrog resident who lost his car asked about payments during a direct line with the governor did authorities establish a compensation procedure for car owners. The document provides for a payment of up to 500,000 rubles for a damaged vehicle and up to a million rubles for a destroyed one.
