A Ukrainian-operated drone caused an explosion in the center of a Russian city on Sunday, injuring three people and damaging three residential buildings, reported the TASS news agency, citing a police source and emergency services.

kyiv, which has so far not commented, has previously denied Russian claims that its drones had flown into Russian territory and caused damage to civilian infrastructure.

“A Ukrainian Tu-141 Strizh UAV was the cause of an explosion in the city of Kireyevsk in the Tula region,” a law enforcement source told TASS. “The drone was loaded with explosives.”

The explosion occurred in the center of Kireyevsk, located about 220 km south of Moscow. None of the three people injured in the blast are believed to have sustained life-threatening injuries, Russian news agencies reported.

The explosion, which occurred at around 3:20 p.m. (1220 GMT), caused a large crater in the heart of Kireyevsk, a representative of the local emergency services told TASS.

Videos and images on social media they showed a muddy crater near a building with badly damaged roof and walls. Shards of glass from broken windows littered the stairwell of a nearby apartment block. Reuters could not immediately verify the images.

Russia has previously reported drone strikes on several towns and cities, some hundreds of kilometers from its border with Ukraine.

Three members of the Russian air force died on December 26. when a drone believed to be Ukrainian was shot down at the main Russian strategic bomber base near the city of Saratov after flying hundreds of kilometers through Russian airspace.
