MOSCOW - Falling debris from a Ukrainian drone has disrupted railway transport in the Voronezh region, Governor Alexander Gusev said Saturday on his Telegram channel.

He said that Russia's air defense and electronic warfare systems neutralized over 10 Ukrainian drones in the suburbs of Voronezh and nearby districts. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties.

In one district, drone debris damaged overhead railway power lines, causing a delay to one train, with additional delays expected.
