Falling debris from a destroyed Ukrainian drone sparked a fire at a power substation in the town of Kropotkin that was promptly extinguished, the administration of the southern Russian region of Krasnodar said on Monday.
“Preliminary reports indicate no injuries,” the administration said on the Telegram messaging app.
The full scale of the attack and potential damage was not immediately known. Reuters could not independently verify the report.
Several southern and southwestern Russian regions were under air raid alerts for hours at a time overnight, according to information published on official regional Telegram channels.
Flight operations at several airports, including in Saratov and Volgograd, were halted for several hours to ensure air safety, Russia’s civil aviation body Rosaviatsia said on Telegram.
