A Ukrainian drone attacked an administrative building in Kursk, Russia. This is a building of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), as a source within Ukraine's Defense Intelligence told RBC-Ukraine.

"Russian officials claim that the attack only caused 'minor damage to the roof.' However, it is evident that this is not true. There was a direct hit," said the source.

According to the source, the operation was organized by Ukraine's intelligence. However, military intelligence neither confirms nor denies its involvement.
