Three people were injured on Friday when a drone struck a multi-storey building in the Russian city of Voronezh, authorities said.

Russian regional governor Alexander Gusev said the incident is under investigation.

Photos showed that several flats on the lower floors of the building were destroyed.

The affected area, Voronezh Oblast, which is in south-west Russia, partly borders Ukraine.

The regions near the border repeatedly complain of shelling from Ukrainian territory, with the Belgorod region particularly affected.
