A Ukrainian drone attack, on Wednesday, ignited a fire at an industrial site in the Russian city of Murom, about 300 kilometres east of Moscow.
According to local residents cited by Russian Telegram news channel Astra, the target of the strike was a factory manufacturing ignition devices.
Governor Aleksandr Avdeyev of the Valdimir region, reported on Telegram that the fire was limited to a warehouse.
He added that the blaze, now extinguished, was triggered by falling drones.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said that 34 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight, including three over the Vladimir region.
For over three years, Ukraine has been defending itself from Russia’s large scale invasion backed with Western support.
As part of its military response, Kiev had frequently targeted sites inside Russian territory.
While the Ukrainian strikes caused damage and casualties, they were minimal compared to the widespread destruction and human suffering resulting from Russia’s war in Ukraine.
