A Ukrainian drone attack ignited a fire at a railway station in Russia's Volgograd region, damaging a power line, officials confirmed on Monday.

The Volgograd region's administration reported an unexploded drone on railway tracks near the Archeda station. However, no damage to the tracks has been cited. The incident led to delayed regional trains and halted flights at Volgograd's regional airport, resuming hours later.

According to Russia's defense ministry, 61 Ukrainian drones were destroyed overnight, six of them over Volgograd. Reports suggest the attack was massive, targeting critical energy and transport infrastructure. While Reuters couldn't verify these reports, no immediate comment came from Ukraine.
