The Mash channel reports that residents of the residential complex are being evacuated from the building. A fire continues there — smoke has engulfed the area. However, there is currently no information about any casualties.
As reported by the propagandist TASS, the Prime Minister of Tatarstan, Alexey Pesoshin, has already arrived at the housing complex, where emergency services are also present.
Updated at 9:37. The press service of Tatarstan's head, Rustam Minnikhanov, which is quoted by "RBK," claims that eight drone strikes have been recorded in Kazan, six of which hit residential buildings. Additionally, one drone attacked an industrial facility.
The company that developed the building project, "Azure Skies," describes it as a "premium-class residential complex" and a "high-tech modern skyscraper." It features 37 floors, with an observation deck at a height of 128 meters on the roof.
To remind, on the eve of December 20, during a Russian attack on Kyiv, the "Toronto" business center and the nearby Roman Catholic St. Nicholas Church sustained damage.
