Aerial assault on a tall building in Kursk results in the death of a female civilian and the wounding of six others.
In the recent events of August 23-24, 2025, Russian authorities successfully intercepted multiple Ukrainian drones targeting regions in western Russia. One such incident occurred near the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, where a Ukrainian drone was downed, causing a brief fire upon impact on an auxiliary transformer.
The acting governor of Kursk Oblast, Alexander Hinstein, announced these details. The fire was quickly extinguished, and thankfully, no injuries or abnormal radiation levels were reported. However, the incident did result in a partial capacity reduction at one nuclear reactor unit by 50%.
This attack aligns with Kyiv’s intensified drone strikes targeting Russian infrastructure within Russia. Russian air defenses also intercepted several Ukrainian drones over various central regions, including near Moscow, causing temporary airport closures and flight delays.
Regarding the railway district and Obesta village, no verified recent updates about drone strikes in these localities have been reported in the provided data. Keeping an eye on local Russian and Ukrainian defense communications would be necessary for updates on these specific localities.
In the unfortunate incident near the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, one civilian lost their life, and six other individuals were injured, one critically. A door-to-door inspection is planned for the morning to assess all damages, and assistance will be provided for the restoration of affected housing.
