A Russian plane accidentally bombed a village in the country’s Voronezh region as the Kremlin continued its all-out assault on Ukraine’s major cities.
The fighter jet responsible for the friendly fire was reportedly forced to make an “emergency take-off” on Tuesday while flying over the Russian village of Petropavlovka.
“Around 9:00 a.m. on January 2, when an Air Force plane was flying over the village of Petropavlovka in the Voronezh Region, there was an emergency release of an aviation projectile,” the Russian Defense Ministry said, according to a translation from the Moscow Times.
Petropavlovka is located about 93 miles east of the Russian-Ukrainian border.
“An investigation is underway regarding the circumstances of the incident. A commission is working at the site to assess the nature of the damage and assist in the restoration of the building,” the Ministry of Defense said.
The Defense Ministry claimed no casualties from the accidental bombing, but at least six buildings were hit, according to the Moscow Times.
“I tasked my colleagues in the Voronezh regional government to quickly deal with issues related to the payment of compensation and the construction of new housing,” Voronezh Governor Aleksander Gusev said, according to a translation. “Our commitment is to make sure no one is overlooked.”

Russia maintains its bombardment of Ukraine’s two largest cities with hypersonic ballistic missiles as the conflict nears the end of its second year.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced four civilians were killed in attacks on the main cities of Kyiv and Kharkiv. An additional 92 individuals were injured.
Russia launched on Friday its largest missile attack on Ukraine since the start of the war, killing at least 41 civilians — an onslaught that has continued ever since.

“Another attack by Russian thugs. Almost a hundred missiles of various types. At least 70 missiles were shot down. Almost 60 of them were intercepted in the Kyiv area. There was also a severe attack on Kharkiv,” Zelenskyy told the Ukrainian public on Tuesday.
He continued, “Work is now being done to eliminate the consequences. Patriot, IRIS-T, and NASAMS — each of these systems has saved hundreds of lives. Russia will be responsible for every life lost. Glory to Ukraine!”
