This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the telegram channel of the governor of the Tver region, Igor Rudenya.
According to him, the fire broke out in Toropets "at the site of the UAV wreckage". He also said that air defence operations in the region were ongoing due to a "massive drone attack".
