Details: According to Astra, residents of Kursk reported many explosions at around 02:30.

Photos and videos of a fire in a high-rise building, allegedly after a drone strike, were also published online.

Russian Telegram channels did not report any other consequences.

The local authorities claimed that one person had been killed and nine injured.

It is worth noting that Ukraine has repeatedly stated that its targets in Russia are limited to military facilities, military factories and fuel and lubricant storage sites that supply the Russian army. It is also known that a drone may deviate from its route, for example, due to electronic warfare operating.

Later, the Russian Defence Ministry claimed that 109 Ukrainian UAVs had been downed over Kursk Oblast.

In addition, three drones were reportedly downed over Voronezh Oblast and one each over Moscow, Bryansk and Oryol oblasts in Russia.
