Ukrainian drone attack kills three in Russia's Ryazan, hits residences, industry


May 15 (Reuters) - ⁠A Ukrainian drone attack killed ⁠three people in the central Russian ‌city of Ryazan, damaged high-rise apartment buildings and hit an industrial enterprise, Regional Governor ​Pavel Malkov said early ⁠on Friday.

"To our ⁠great regret, three people have been ⁠killed and ‌12 injured, including children," Malkov wrote on the ⁠Telegram messaging app.

Malkov said the drones ​damaged ‌two high-rise apartment blocks. He said ⁠debris from ​falling drones also fell on the territory of an industrial site, ⁠which he did not identify.

The ​unofficial Telegram site Mash showed pictures of smoke rising from a high-rise ⁠building and said one of the entrances to the building was blocked, preventing residents from leaving.

Other unofficial ​sites showed several apartments ⁠ablaze.

Ryazan, located some 200 km (120 miles) ​southeast of Moscow, ‌is the site of ​a large oil refinery.
