Kyiv has dismissed previous claims that it has attacked Russian civilian targets with explosive drones.
A Ukrainian drone has been shot down by Russian air defences, Moscow says.
Russia state media is reporting that at least three people had been injured in an explosion after it was brought down. Several apartments have reportedly been damaged in the town, which lies 220km south of Moscow, but there have not been any serious injuries. "The grouping of Russian air defence systems deployed in Tula region - S-300 and Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as Pole-21 electronic warfare systems - provide reliable cover from this direction," the defence ministry said.
