A small attack like this isn't very damaging in itself. But if it triggers a response that spreads air defense thinner and draws resources to the rear, it can have huge secondary effects. One of the effects could be added restrictions on air traffic or even friendly fire on civil aircraft when they are mistaken for attack drones. Russian strikes in all of Ukraine are a common occurrence; in my newspapers those get hardly even summarized anymore. Looks like such attacks will become more common on the Russian side as well.
