Ukrainian drone strikes Russia's Kursk city

According to officials, a Ukrainian drone attack damaged an administrative building in the core of Russia’s southern Kursk city on Sunday.

In recent months of Moscow’s war, which has lasted 19 months, Kyiv has attacked Russian cities practically daily.

Kursk is around 90 kilometres (50 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

“In Kursk, a Ukrainian drone attacked an administrative building in the central district,” Governor Roman Starovoyt said on Telegram.

“The roof was slightly damaged. Employees of the emergency services are working at the scene.”

A Ukrainian drone strike last month destroyed Kursk’s railway station, injuring five people and causing major damage.

Drone intrusions are reported on a daily basis in both Russia and Ukraine, as Kyiv launches a counteroffensive aimed at regaining Russian-held territory.
