Mystery Soviet-era drone crashes in Croatia

The drone crashed near a student dormitory in a south-western suburb of the capital Zagreb The drone crashed near a student dormitory in a south-western suburb of the capital Zagreb
The mayor of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, says it was a miracle that nobody was killed when a suspected military drone the size of an aircraft crashed in the city at around 23:00 last night.
According to Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, the unmanned drone is Russian-made: "But it is not known whether it is owned by the Ukrainian or Russian army".
Unofficial accounts say it might be a Soviet-era TU-141 drone, operated by the Ukrainian military. Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomasevic said fragments of the drone have been found in several areas of the south-western suburb of Jarun. "No-one was killed, it's down to luck. It's a large aircraft."
Croatian leaders say the drone flew over Hungary for 40 minutes and then entered Croatian airspace for another seven minutes before crashing in the capital.
President Zoran Milanovic, who is also commander in chief of the armed forces, has urged Croatians to remain calm, saying this kind of incident happens during conflicts and the drone is not thought to have been directed at Croatia.

Since the actual crash happened at 11pm last night, and PP's posts about a "missile ... landed in Croatia" were 12 hours earlier, then yes it was pretty clairvoyant.
I didn't hear it. When a colleague told me about it this morning, I was genuinely wondering if he was part of the same in-joke that PeterPedant was.
