The debris from a downed drone set fire to an apartment building in the village of Yubileyny in the Kursk Region, acting Governor Alexei Smirnov said.
"Today, a residential building caught fire in the village of Yubileyny in the Kursk region due to falling debris. A local resident, who was fighting the fire on her own, got burns. She received the necessary medical care on the spot," Smirnov said on Telegram.
Ukraine has been sending drones towards Russia almost daily since it launched its botched counteroffensive attempt. Russian officials repeatedly stressed that deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure reveal the criminal nature of Kiev regime.
