A Ukrainian drone attack damaged a power line and sparked a fire at a railway station building in Russia's southern region of Volgograd overnight, the regional administration said on Monday.



An unexploded drone fell on railway tracks near the Archeda train station, the administration of the region said on the Telegram messaging app, citing Volgograd region's governor, Andrei Bocharov as saying.



"No damage to the tracks has been reported," the administration said.



Russian state news agency TASS reported several regional trains were delayed in the area.



Flights at the regional airport in the city of Volgograd, which is the administrative centre of the broader Volgograd region, were halted for several hours before resuming at around 0300 GMT, Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia said on Telegram.



The full scale of the attack was not immediately clear, but the region's administration cited Bocharov as saying the attack was "massive" and targeted energy and transport infrastructure.
