A bevy of drones struck a facility in Russia’s western Tver region, causing an enormous conflagration and forcing residents to evacuate, local officials have said. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility.

On the morning of Sept. 18, Russia’s TASS news agency reported that air defenses were “still repelling a massive drone attack in the skies over Toropets in the Tver region.”
