Russia's Kursk Region Governor Roman Starovoit said several Ukrainian drones were allegedly "shot down" over Kursk.

"Tonight, several Ukrainian drones were shot down by the air defence system near Kursk. We ask Kursk residents to stay calm," said the governor of the Kursk region.

The day before he reported that an ammunition was dropped from a drone on an electrical substation, resulting in the village of Gogolevka, Sudzhansk district, being de-energized.

Local residents wrote in the comments to such news that seven powerful explosions had already occurred and their houses were shaken.

A local resident of Kursk region reported unidentified armed men in military uniforms who "swooped" in front of his car in the woods yesterday.
