Debris from destroyed Ukrainian drones sparked fires at an oil refinery and a hospital roof in Russia’s Volgograd region, the administration of the southwestern Russian region said on Tuesday in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
“Firefighters are working on site trying to contain and extinguish the fires,” the administration cited the region’s governor, Andrei Bocharov, as saying in its post.
“According to preliminary information, there are no injuries.”
Russia’s civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia said on Telegram that flights in and out of Volgograd were halted for about three hours overnight.
The scale of the attack was not immediately clear. Bocharov called the drone strikes “massive”.
