MOSCOW, June 16. /TASS/. Special services are looking into an apparent Ukrainian drone attack that caused fire at a warehouse in the Kursk Region, Regional Governor Roman Starovoit said on Friday.

"A fire broke out on the premises of Bel-Pol [enterprise] in the Kursk district. The enterprise is one of the largest producers of blankets and pillows with various fillers. Special services are looking into an apparently alien drone attack," the regional governor wrote on his Telegram channel.
