One person killed in Ukrainian drone attack on Russian apartment building, governor says

MOSCOW - One person was killed and nine more were injured on Sunday after Ukrainian drones hit an apartment building in the Russian city of Oryol, south of Moscow, the regional governor said.

Photographs published by Oryol Regional Governor Andrei Klychkov showed blown-out and blackened windows of several stories of a high-rise apartment building in the city of some 300,000.

Klychkov said the situation was under the control of emergency services and law enforcement, and cleanup operations were ongoing.
