A Ukrainian drone strike has caused fatalities and serious injuries at an industrial plant in the city of Izhevsk, located about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) east of Moscow, the regional governor said Tuesday.
The head of the Udmurt Republic, Aleksandr Brechalov, confirmed that the incident took place overnight but did not identify the site that was hit.
The attack ignited a fire at the facility, Brechalov said on social media, adding that firefighters were working to contain the blaze.
Later in the day, he reported three deaths and said 35 victims were in hospital, ten of whom are in serious condition.
Kiev has continued its campaign of long-range strikes on Russian territory, launching nightly drone attacks. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that it intercepted 60 kamikaze drones overnight.
Izhevsk, the capital of Udmurtia, lies approximately 1,200 kilometers from territory controlled by Kiev.
