A missile was also shot down in the western part of Rostov region, local Governor Vasiliy Golubev said, adding that there were no victims and no destruction.
Ukraine has not yet commented on the latest major drone attack on Russia, but did say that its forces hit an S-300 anti-aircraft missile complex in Novoshakhtinsk in Rostov, but could not yet confirm if it was destroyed.
“It should be noted that the Russian invaders also use S-300 complexes for attacks on peaceful cities of Ukraine, destroying residential buildings and terrorizing the civilian population,” the Ukrainian army said in a statement Wednesday morning.
Ukraine has increasingly taken the fight to Russia in August, and a surprise incursion — now entering its third week — across the border by Kyiv’s forces into the Kursk and Belgorod regions has caught the Kremlin flat-footed.
