Drones set fires across Russia's Voronezh

Explosions near the Chizhov Gallery, a 25-storey business centre, started a fire around 5:20 a.m. local time Monday, and residents reported several other fires in the city.

Governor Aleksandr Gusev confirmed that air defences responded to a drone attack. No casualties were confirmed, and it is unclear whether buildings were hit directly or by debris.
