Another drone attacked the company Oryolenergo, which supplies and sells electricity in the Oryol region.
So far, two people have been reported injured after drone attacks on the city.
In addition, the Kursk region is also noisy. Russians report "air defense operations".
Explosions in Russia
Various explosions have been occurring regularly in Russian settlements in various regions. Most often, this happens in the border regions.
Thus, since December 30, Russians have been complaining about the shelling of Belgorod and the region. RBC-Ukraine's sources in the special services reported that the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine launched a missile attack on military facilities in Belgorod on December 30.
According to the Russians, the so-called shelling continued on January 1 and 2. Russian officials and the Russian Defense Ministry claim to have allegedly shot down missiles. Yesterday, January 3, explosions and sirens were heard in Belgorod again, and the governor said that "the situation is tense."
Earlier, on December 19, the governor of the Bryansk region reported as many as three drone attacks in the morning and blamed Ukraine. Residents posted videos on social media showing explosions. Officials claim that the drones were shot down and there were no casualties.
On December 22, the Russians invented a new "attack" on an oil storage facility in the Bryansk region. Russian media claimed that drones were trying to attack fuel tanks.
