Apparently, drone incidents have occurred in several places in Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry reports several kills, regional officials speak of attacks from Ukraine.
One of the drones was apparently shot down in the Moscow region.
The alleged attack was probably aimed at civilian infrastructure, reports the Russian news agency Ria Novosti, citing the governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov.
There is no damage to the infrastructure and no victims.
The drone crashed near the town of Kolomna, near a gas distribution station, the agency quoted local emergency services as saying.
Kolomna is around 110 kilometers southeast of Moscow.
The alleged drone attack near Moscow is not the only one.
Vorobyov reported the incident on his Telegram channel shortly after the Russian Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of launching two drone strikes in southern Russia during the night.
According to the Defense Ministry, Kiev is said to have tried to attack Russian infrastructure in the Krasnodar and Adygea regions.
The drones were "switched off" using "electronic warfare".
Accordingly, the drones crashed without reaching their destination.
A drone is said to have landed in a field, another fell on a building without causing much damage.
Suspicious explosions in the oil storage facility
One of the incidents may be related to a fire at an oil refinery site in the city of Tuapse on the Black Sea coast.
According to the city administration, the fire allegedly broke out in an agricultural building.
In the meantime, it has spread to 200 square meters, but it has now been deleted.
There are reports that there were two explosions on the site a few seconds apart.
The Ministry of Defense in Moscow confirmed the fire but did not provide any further information.
Russian authorities in Belgorod reported further drone attacks.
Three drone wrecks were found there and minor property damage was reported.
The shooting down of a drone was also reported from the Bryansk region.
There were no injuries or damage.
