Ukraine has carried out a night-time drone attack on a Kremlin military airfield near the city of Volgograd and announced the capture of another village in Russia’s Kursk region, as Russian forces pressed on with their advance in the Donetsk region.

Volgograd’s governor, Andrei Bocharov, said the strike took place at about 3am. Local people reported a series of explosions. Several hours later, ammunition continued to detonate as a vast carpet of black smoke engulfed the area.

Ukraine’s SBU security service said it carried out the remote raid against the Marinovka airbase, about 45 miles (70km) west of Volgograd, near the city of Kalach-na-Donu.
