In the Ryazan region, a drone crashed and triggered a fire at a plant, Governor Pavel Malkov said on Telegram. He added that there were no preliminary reports of injuries.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that its forces had shot down 258 drones across the country, as well as over the annexed Crimea and the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.
Separately, a Russian air attack targeting border infrastructure at a border crossing with Romania led to the temporary suspension of operations at the Orlivka checkpoint, according to the operational headquarters of the Izmail Regional State Administration, which reported the incident on Telegram.
Independent verification of the claims made by both sides remains difficult because of the ongoing war.
