Russia's Voronezh region came under a large-scale drone attack overnight on October 26. According to updated figures from regional authorities, three people were killed and 39 required medical attention for injuries. Three children were among those hurt. A passenger train traveling from Anapa to Moscow was damaged during the attack.
Governor Alexander Gusev initially reported two deaths and 17 injuries. The regional Health Ministry later revised the figures to three dead and 39 injured.
According to the regional government, 12 people remained hospitalized, including three in intensive care. Another 12 were receiving outpatient treatment, while 15 were examined and released. Three children were among the injured, including a five-year-old girl who remained in hospital.
The governor said Russian air defenses had destroyed 113 drones over the region, more than 70 of them directly over the city of Voronezh.
Initial reports identified two of the people killed as men born in 1960 and 1973. The updated statement did not provide detailed information about the third person who died.
A substantial number of the injured had been traveling on a train from Anapa to Moscow. Gusev said drone fragments fell onto the train.
Russian Railways initially reported five injured passengers aboard Train No. 11. Those passengers are included in the overall casualty figures and should not be added separately to the revised total of 39 injured people.
One carriage was damaged at Somovo station. Following the attack, power was lost on the railway's overhead lines between Tresvyatskaya, Somovo, Otrozhka and Voronezh, temporarily suspending train services.
Russian Railways later announced that traffic had resumed on October 26. Passenger services continued to experience delays as the operator worked to restore the timetable.
According to the governor, fires and damage were recorded at several industrial facilities, a business center, residential buildings, holiday-home communities, a garage complex and the grounds of a school stadium.
Authorities continued assessing the damage and carrying out repairs.
Russia blamed Ukraine for the attack. At the time of the reports, there was no independent public verification of the origin of each drone, the cause of damage at individual sites or the circumstances of all the casualties.
Ukraine had not released detailed official information about the specific targets or results of the operation.
The revised casualty figures are based on statements from Russian regional authorities and the Voronezh Regional Health Ministry. No independent reconstruction of all the circumstances of the attack had been published.
