Ukrainian attacks triggered a fire at a factory producing electrical devices and wounded at least six people in Russian areas bordering Ukraine overnight, local governors said on Tuesday.

A drone attack on a factory in the town of Korenevo in Russia’s Kursk region caused the fire which was extinguished by morning and no one was harmed. One person was injured when a drone dropped an explosive device on a house elsewhere in the region, interim governor Alexei Smirnov said.
