Drone attacks on Russian territory and the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, have multiplied in recent months.
Kiev, which launched a counteroffensive in early June to recapture territory controlled by Russian troops, has repeatedly expressed its intention to retake Crimea.
On Saturday, Moscow said it had shot down three naval drones that had targeted the Crimean bridge over the Kerch Strait, a strategically important project that had already been the target of attacks over the summer.
While in the Kursk region, the head of the local government Roman Starovoit reported that on Friday “two Ukrainian drones” struck the city of Kurchatov, causing damage to a public building and an apartment building. Mr. Starovoit spoke of a new attack yesterday Sunday, without casualties.
