Earlier on the night of January 20, at least 11 people were injured in a drone attack in the Takhtamukaysky District of Russia's Republic of Adygea, said Murat Kumpilov, head of the republic, on his Telegram channel.
Kumpilov said nine of the injured were hospitalised, and all victims were reported to be in stable condition. Two children were among those injured, and no fatalities were reported.
The attack struck the village of Novaya Adygea, where a large fire broke out, damaging an apartment building and a nearby parking lot. According to preliminary information, 15 cars were destroyed, and another 25 were damaged.
Additionally, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Tuesday announced that Russia's air raids caused large-scale power and water supply disruptions in the Ukrainian capital.
A total of 5,635 apartment buildings in Kyiv were left without heating following Russia's overnight aerial attacks, Klitschko wrote on social media Telegram.
The strikes caused massive power and water supply disruptions, while utility and energy workers were working to restore heating, water and electricity supplies, Klitschko said.
In Kyiv, a woman was injured, while buildings and vehicles were damaged, according to the mayor.
In the region surrounding Kyiv, a 50-year-old man was killed in the attack, said regional Governor Mykola Kalashnyk.
The strikes came as night temperatures in Kyiv dropped to minus 14 degrees Celsius. As of Monday evening, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine had set up 91 emergency heating tents across the city, accommodating residents to warm up and charge electronic devices.
