How life has changed in a Moscow suburb where Ukrainian drones hit the same apartment building twice

On September 20, 2026, Ukraine launched another large-scale drone attack on the Moscow region. One drone hit a high-rise apartment building in Kotelniki, southeast of Moscow. Another had struck the same building in June. Neither strike killed anyone, but the attacks badly frightened many people in the neighborhood. Reporters from Bereg, a cooperative of independent journalists, visited the Novye Kotelniki residential complex to see how repairs were progressing after the two attacks and how residents had responded. Meduza is translating their report in full.
