MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Ukraine's overnight drone attack sparked a fire in Russia's Astrakhan region and forced the suspension of flights at several airports, Russian officials said on Monday.

"Ukrainian armed forces attempted a drone attack on objects located in the region, including fuel and energy facilities," Igor Babushkin, governor of the Astrakhan region in southern Russia, said on the Telegram messaging app.

"Falling drone sparked a fire. There were no casualties."

Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said that it was suspending flights from the airports of Astrakhan, Kazan, Nizhnekamsk, Saratov and Ulyanovsk to ensure safety.
