Ukraine launched drone attacks across several regions of Russia, striking two residential houses in the Tambov region and injuring at least three people, Russia said on Saturday.



The regional head, Evgeny Pervyshov, said on the Telegram messaging app people were treated for injuries resulting from shattered windows as drones hit two houses in the town of Kotovsk, about 480 kilometres southeast of Moscow.



He said the buildings were only slightly damaged, the inhabitants were offered temporary housing, and an evacuation was not required.



"Three (people) had cuts from fragments of broken windows, another four complained of high blood pressure," he said.



Separately, Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted and destroyed 85 Ukrainian drones overnight in several regions of the country, including 31 drones over the Black Sea, 16 each in the Voronezh and Krasnodar regions and 14 over the Azov Sea.
