The attack on an apartment block also injured 12 people, Aleksandr Khinshtein has said

A Ukrainian drone attack on Kursk has killed a 45-year-old woman and left 12 people injured, acting governor Aleksandr Khinshtein has said.

In a statement on Friday, Khinshtein said the attack - which he described as "an inhuman crime by Ukrainian Nazis" - hit an apartment block, which sustained "serious damage." He added that a fire had broken out on the four upper floors, which has since been extinguished, and that the blast wave had shattered windows in nearby buildings and a school.

According to Khinshtein, the casualties included a 15-year-old. Nine people were hospitalized and three are receiving outpatient treatment, he added.

The building's residents have been temporarily relocated to a nearby school, Khinshtein said, noting that authorities will provide them with sleeping accommodation, essential supplies, and food. Experts will assess the extent of damage to the building and whether it can be repaired, he said.

Footage circulating on social media showed a large blaze in the yard near the building, with several cars on fire. A fire was also visible on the upper floors of the structure. Later videos from the scene depicted balconies and exterior walls badly damaged, and nearby streets littered with debris from the blast.

Ukraine routinely launches drone attacks deep into Russia, which often target residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Border areas, including Kursk Region, have been particularly heavily impacted by drone raids and artillery shelling.
