Fires in Russia

Russian authorities regularly report alleged attacks by unidentified drones, after which fires break out at oil refineries, industrial facilities, or military sites in various cities across the country.

For example, yesterday, drones carried out a large-scale attack on Russia’s Volgograd region. In the regional capital itself, a fire broke out at an oil refinery as a result of "falling debris."
