'Drone attack' strikes Russian airfield bordering Ukraine
An oil storage tank caught fire
06 December, 09:40 (ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, DEC 6 - A drone has attacked an
airfield in Russia's Kursk region bordering Ukraine, the local
governor said Tuesday, a day after Moscow blamed Ukraine for
drone strikes at two other Russian airfields. "As a result of a
drone attack in the area of the Kursk airfield, an oil storage
tank caught fire. There were no casualties," governor Roman
Starovoyt said on social media, adding that they were trying to
contain the fire. Starovoyt did not specify where the drone
originated. On Monday, Russia's defence ministry said Ukraine
"attempted to strike" the Dyagilevo airfield in the Ryazan
region and the Engels airfield in the Saratov region with
"Soviet-made drones". The drones were intercepted but debris
fell and exploded on the airfields, the ministry added.
