Russian air defenses are responding to what officials described as a “massive attack” in the Volgograd region, Russia’s Tass news agency reported early Friday, citing its governor, Andrei Bocharov, as saying.

Authorities said a residential apartment building was struck. No casualties have been reported so far.
