Kyiv yesterday staged a major drone attack on the Russian city of  Kazan, 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from the frontier, as Moscow's  troops captured a new frontline village in eastern Ukraine.

The  drones damaged buildings in Kazan, capital of the Tartarstan republic,  with a population of more than 1.3 million, but there were no victims,  local officials said.

Kazan City hall said some fires had  started and were being tackled by the fire brigade. The city's airport  was temporarily closed, the Russian civilian aviation authority,  Rosaviatsia, said.

Videos on Russian social media networks showed drones hitting high rise buildings setting off fireballs.

Russia  on Friday staged strikes on the Ukraine capital, Kyiv, that left one  dead and 13 wounded, according to the city's authorities. Another five  people were killed in a Ukrainian attack on the Russian frontier region  of Kursk, the local governor said.
