The raid targeted a military base not far from Lake Baikal, Governor Igor Kobzev has said

Several drones have attacked a military installation in Irkutsk Region, central Russia, Governor Igor Kobzev has said. He added that this is the first case of a UAV raid in Siberia.

The attack occurred in the settlement of Sredny, about 150 km from Lake Baikal and 70 km from the regional capital, Irkutsk. One drone also struck an old building in the nearby village of Novomaltinsk, Kobzev said.

Kommersant cited Kobzev as saying that the drones were launched from a small truck, with the exact number of UAVs still unknown. Unverified clips on social media suggest the raid involved at least three small drones.

The governor said the launch site had been "blocked," and added that there was "no threat to the lives and health of civilians."
