Overnight drone attacks by Ukraine have caused significant disruption in Russia's Kursk and Voronezh regions, igniting residential fires and obstructing a major highway, regional officials reported on Monday.
According to Russian authorities, air defence units managed to destroy 162 Ukrainian drones overnight, with 57 of them falling in the Kursk region, causing fires in several houses and damaging apartments. This was confirmed by the acting governor, Alexander Khinshtein, via Telegram.
In Voronezh, Russian forces downed 16 drones, with debris cutting through power lines and shutting down a section of the M-4 expressway. Despite the destruction, no injuries were reported as Russia and Ukraine prepare for peace talks to end the lengthy conflict initiated by Russia's full-scale invasion over three years ago.
