.

Kyiv forces hit Russia's Kursk region that borders Ukraine with dozens of drones, killing an elderly woman, injuring nine people and sparking fires in several buildings in the region's administrative centre, Russian authorities said on Apr 15.

The Russian Defence Ministry, which releases data only on how many drones its forces destroy, not how many Ukraine launches, said 109 drones were downed over the Kursk region overnight.

"Kursk has been subjected to a massive enemy attack overnight. Unfortunately, an 85-year-old woman died," the Kursk region administration said in a post on Telegram messaging app.
