An overnight Ukrainian drone attack on the western Russian region of Kursk has damaged several buildings, Gov. Roman Starovoyt said Friday.

“The entrance of a high-rise building and several other private houses were damaged. We are completing calculations of the cost of damage — we will provide everyone with the fastest possible help. The main thing — there were no casualties,” he said. 

Earlier on Friday, Starovoyt had urged residents to stay calm, saying Russia's air defense system had shot down several of Ukrainian drones.

The governor is one of a number of Russian officials to report attacks on their regions Friday as the war spills over from Ukraine's borders into Russian territory.
