A fuel depot in Oryol in western Russia is on fire after a drone attack, the county’s governor Andrey Klytchkov said Tuesday night.

No one is said to have been killed in the attack and work is underway to extinguish the fire, writes the governor on the Telegram messaging service.

Several Russian areas have been attacked by drones during the night, according to Russian authorities. In the Belgorod region, not far from the border with Ukraine, seven small communities are without power after a drone attack, governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. No one should have been injured, he writes on Telegram.

A drone is said to have also been shot down outside Moscow, the capital’s mayor Sergey Sobyanin says on Telegram.
