A Ukrainian drone attack damaged the regional court building in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, according to Gleb Nikitin, the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region. The strike caused structural damage to the courthouse, though Nikitin confirmed that no injuries were reported among people at the scene.

Nizhny Novgorod is located approximately 400 kilometres east of Moscow, marking one of the deeper Ukrainian drone strikes into Russian territory in recent months. Ukrainian drone attacks have increasingly targeted infrastructure and administrative buildings across Russian regions far from the front lines.

The Kremlin has faced growing pressure as Ukrainian long-range drone campaigns continue to reach major Russian cities and regional centers. Russian authorities have stepped up air defense systems across the country in response to the escalating drone offensive.
