A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and wounded two others in Russia's Voronezh region, while falling debris triggered fires at two warehouse facilities, regional Governor Alexander Gusev said on Tuesday.

Russian air defence units destroyed 15 drones over the city of Voronezh and five districts of the region, Gusev said on Telegram.

"A drone crash caused fires at two warehouses of a large company," he said, adding that the fire at one facility was contained to 16,000 square metres, while a blaze covering 20,000 square metres was still being extinguished.

Gusev did not identify the company whose warehouses were affected.

Emergency services were working at the sites, he said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Russian online retailer Wildberries said its logistics facilities in the Voronezh region had been evacuated as a safety precaution.
