🇷🇺🇺🇦The Most Massive Drone Attack by Ukrainian UAVs on Russian Regions

This night, Ukrainian forces carried out a massive drone attack on Russian regions. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 158 drones were intercepted in 16 regions, as well as over Moscow.

▪️The largest number of munitions was destroyed over the Kursk Region - 46 of them. The work of the Russian air defense forces was recorded throughout the night.

▪️No less than 34 Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the Bryansk Region. According to the governor Alexander Bogomaz, there were no casualties among the civilian population and no damage to infrastructure.

▪️14 drones were neutralized in the airspace of the Belgorod Region. At the same time, commercial facilities, private homes and civilian vehicles were damaged in Belgorod and the Belgorod District.

▪️In the Moscow Region and Moscow, a downed UAV fell on a technical building on the territory of the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya, causing a fire of about 40 square meters, which was extinguished. According to some reports, the Kashira GRES power plant was also attacked, but this has not been confirmed.

Also, according to preliminary information, the enemy tried to attack the Zhukovsky Airport. Temporary restrictions for flight safety were also introduced at the Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports, their operation was restored at 09:05.

▪️In the Tver Region, a fire broke out at the Konakovo GRES power plant after a drone strike, which was soon localized and extinguished. As reported by Governor Igor Rudenya, there were no casualties, electricity and gas supply in the district is carried out as usual.

▪️Air defense systems also worked in Yaroslavl, Voronezh, Ryazan, Kaluga, Tula, Tambov, Smolensk, Oryol and Ivanovo Regions, with no casualties reported. Only in the Tarnsky District of the Lipetsk Region was a cell tower damaged.

🔻The night attack by the AFU became the most massive since the start of the SMO. Once again, the main targets were fuel and energy facilities, where the enemy specifically developed entry routes from the least protected directions. But in this case, only a few UAVs reached their targets, while the rest were destroyed.

However, in the foreseeable future, the enemy's drone production rates will be even higher. And we need to be ready for this - if today the wave of drones on the capital was almost completely destroyed, this does not mean that tomorrow it will be exactly the same.
