Ukraine has damaged several industrial facilities with a massive drone attack in a number of Russian regions. The governor of the Saratov region, Roman Busargin, confirmed that two plants had been hit. One industrial plant in Saratov and one in the city of Engels were hit, he wrote on Telegram. There were no fatalities or injuries. According to media reports, the fuel depot, which had burned for five days after an impact last week, was hit again.

Engels is located around 600 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. Bombers regularly take off from the airbase to bomb the neighboring country. The fuel depot is also used to supply them.

This time, however, there were also strikes in the Russian republic of Tatarstan. A fire broke out after a drone attack, but there was no serious damage, wrote republic leader Rustam Minnikhanov. Meanwhile, videos of a large fire raging at a liquefied natural gas base near Kazan are spreading online, according to media reports. According to reports, three cisterns caught fire there.

Attacks on their regions were also confirmed by the regional administrations of Tula, Oryol and Voronezh. In Tula, several vehicles and farm buildings are said to have been damaged. In Oryol, 17 drones were reportedly shot down. There was no major damage, wrote Governor Andrey Klychkov. The governor of Voronezh also only reported the shooting down of drones, without confirming any damage.
