Russia's Defense Ministry says four Ukrainian drones were intercepted and destroyed over the territory of the Rostov, Tula, and Kaluga regions.

Kaluga Governor Vladislav Shapsha said one drone exploded above a pumping station in Kaluga, damaging the building but causing no fire.

Russia's Emergencies Ministry also said that two large-scale fires broke out in the Moscow region.

It said rescue workers were at work in the village of Obukhovo near Moscow, where a production facility and an administrative building were burning.

The ministry said there were no casualties.
