The mutual drone war has become a constant side effect of the Russian invasion in Ukraine. Kiev has once again targeted a strategically important object.

According to the authorities, a refinery in the Volgograd region has caught fire after a Ukrainian drone attack. The flames were quickly deleted, but a worker was injured, said Governor Andrej Botscharov. The man was taken to the hospital.

Russia and Ukraine cover each other with constant attacks from the air. Again and again, the Ukrainians specifically attack objects of fuel supply in addition to military facilities in order to weaken the logistics of the Russian troops.

In other Russian regions, damage after drone attacks was also reported. According to the Ministry of Department in Moscow, the Russian air defense has fended off a total of 49 drones over 7 regions. In addition to Volgograd, the areas close to Wolgograd were also affected by Woronech, Kursk, Belgorod, Rostow and Krasnodar, but also the Jaroslawl located north of Moscow.

A vehicle was damaged in Woronech and his driver was injured. In addition, the windows of an industrial company broke due to falling drone debris. A residential building and a rural farm also suffered damage. The mast of a high -voltage line was hit in the Rostow area, said Governor Juri Sljusar.
