A Ukrainian drone attack in Kursk, Russia, led to the evacuation of 60 people. The attack caused damage but no casualties were reported.
(Reuters) - A Ukrainian overnight drone attack forced the evacuation of at least 60 people when falling drone debris hit their apartment building in the Russian city of Kursk, not far from the border with Ukraine, a regional official said on Wednesday.
"As a result of the attack of enemy drones on Kursk, there is damage to an apartment building in the city centre," the acting governor of the Kursk region, Alexander Khinshtein, said on the Telegram messaging app.
"Fortunately, there are no casualties."
The size of the attack was not clear. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
The attack came as both sides accuse each other of breaking a U.S.-brokered partial ceasefire on strikes on energy and Black Sea infrastructure in the three-year-old war that started with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
