A Ukrainian drone attack at an industrial plant in central Russia has killed three people and injured 35 others, a Russian regional governor has said.

Three people have been killed and 35 taken to hospital following an attack by Ukraine on a factory in the city of Izhevsk - more than 1,000km (620 miles) from the border, Russian authorities say.

A Ukrainian drone struck a Russian industrial plant some 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) from Ukraine, a local official said on Tuesday, after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prioritized the weapon’s development and Russia pounded its pro-West neighbor with a record number of drones in June.
