May 5 (UPI) -- Two people died Tuesday in a Ukrainian drone strike in the Russian republic of Chuvashia, authorities confirmed. More than 30 others were injured in the attack.
The long-range missile and drone attack struck a site about 600 miles from the Ukrainian border, CNN reported. The region was in a state of emergency following the attack, and area authorities said the strike damaged more than 20 apartment buildings.
Chuvashia's Prime Minister Oleg Artamonov said that threat remained active later Tuesday, with online classes for schools and a halt on public transit, The Moscow Times reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack was against a military production site that made components for military vehicles and missiles.
Zelensky also said in a statement on social media that Ukraine's "long-range sanctions continue to provide an entirely just response to Russian strikes," CNN reported.
