MOSCOW, April 4 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed and four others, including a foreign citizen, were injured in an overnight drone attack on the Russian city of Taganrog, Rostov region governor Yury Slyusar said on Saturday.

"The victims sustained serious injuries. According to doctors, three are in critical condition," the governor said on Telegram.

Commercial facilities were damaged in the attack and a fire broke out at the warehouses of a logistics company, Slyusar said, adding that people were evacuated and the fire was contained.
