Drones attacked the Rossoshansky district of Russia's Voronezh region, with local authorities reporting fires near explosive objects, according to Russian media and the Telegram channel Astra.

The governor of the Voronezh region claims the fire resulted from debris from a downed drone.

He stated that there were no detonations, no casualties, and no damage. Residents of two settlements were evacuated but are now returning to their homes, according to the governor.

Residents reported that the drones targeted an ammunition depot in the village of Malaya Mezhenka. Initially, residents of this village and a neighboring one were evacuated, but they are now returning home, Astra reports.

It is also noted that residents of Russia claim that on the night of August 28, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Glubokinskaya oil depot in the Kamensky district of the Rostov region. Witnesses reported a flare-up in a field near the oil depot in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Other sources claim that several tanks are on fire.

On the night of August 24, Ukrainian intelligence operatives destroyed a large ammunition depot in the Voronezh region. The military facility housed artillery and tank shells, small arms ammunition, and surface-to-air missiles, totaling more than 5,000 tons of munitions.
