Moscow, 28 July 2024 (dpa/MIA) - A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian region of Kursk near the border has set an oil storage facility on fire, the regional governor reported early on Sunday.

Acting Governor Alexei Smirnov said on his Telegram channel that three fuel tanks have caught fire and firefighting efforts are ongoing.

"None of the residents or workers at the industrial site were injured," he said.

The Defence Ministry in Moscow also reported several Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory, including the Kursk region, which is frequently targeted by attacks.

According to Smirnov, debris from a downed drone hit a house in a village in the Kursk region, which subsequently caught fire. No one was injured.

In the small town of Sudzha, a Ukrainian drone dropped an explosive on a residential building, injuring a woman who was then taken to hospital.

Ukraine targets Russian sites daily to disrupt military supplies. With Western support, Kiev, which has been fending off an all-out Russian invasion since February 2022, has significantly ramped up its drone production.

The impact and consequences of these Ukrainian strikes are not nearly as extensive as the widespread destruction and high number of fatalities resulting from Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine.
