Governors have reported overnight Ukrainian assault resulted in a fire breaking out at an electric device manufacturing plant and led to injuries for a minimum of six individuals in Russian territories alongside the Ukranian border. On the subject of the drone interference at a factory located in Korenevo, a town within Russia’s Kursk region, temporary governor Alexei Smirnov stated that while no factory workers came to harm, an individual was hurt by a drone releasing an explosive at a private residence in the same region.
Statements regarding the purported attacks from the Ukrainian authority are yet to be received, and independent verification is not available from Reuters.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence reports that 13 Ukrainian drones were successfully neutralised by their air defence systems in the night, one of which had been spotted over the Kursk region.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of Belgorod, a bordering region, reported that Ukrainian bombardment resulted in injuries for four people. In the Voronezh region, another individual was hurt during a drone assault, as stated by local governor Alexander Gusev.
Russia’s daily publication, Kommersant, indicated on Tuesday that plans on evacuating inhabitants from 14 villages in the Belgorod region, ominously proximate to the Ukranian border, were under contemplation by the authorities. – Reuters
