Residents ordered to evacuate with fire reported at military airfield in region about 460 kilometres south of Moscow.
Russia has begun evacuating people from parts of its western region of Lipetsk, after a “massive attack” by Ukrainian drones, regional governor, Igor Artamonov, said.
Writing on the Telegram messaging app in the early hours of Friday, Artamonov said Lipetsk had “been subjected to a massive UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] attack”.
He later reported explosions “far from civilian buildings” as well as damage to a local power facility.
At least six people were injured, he said.
Shortly afterwards, Russia’s state-run RIA Novosti and TASS news agencies reported a fire had broken out at a military airfield outside the city of Lipetsk, which has a population of about half a million people.
