In the night, the Russian Federation was again attacked by drones. A drone crashed in the city of Lipetsk, and an oil depot is on fire in the Smolensk region, according to Telegram channels of Igor Artamonov, governor of the Lipetsk region, and Vasily Anokhin, governor of the Smolensk region, and local public groups.
During the attack, a UAV fell in the industrial zone of the city of Lipetsk.
There are no casualties. Law enforcement officers are working at the scene.
Meanwhile, an oil depot caught fire in the Smolensk region. After the drone attacks, fires occurred at fuel and energy facilities in two districts of the region.
"It is quite possible that as a result of the enemy's attack on civilian fuel and energy facilities in the territory of the Smolensk and Yartsevo districts, fires occurred. The Ministry of Emergency Situations is on the spot eliminating the consequences. I urge you to remain calm and not to panic," wrote Vasily Anokhin, governor of the Smolensk region.
Drone attacks on the Russian Federation
In the territory of the Russian Federation, there has been a significant increase in the number of various fires and explosions, which are often attributed to drone attacks. They occur in different regions, but officials in border regions with Ukraine more often report such raids.
For example, on the night of April 24, air defense forces were deployed in the Voronezh region due to drones. A private residential building caught fire in one of the urban-type settlements.
On the night of April 23, the authorities of the Belgorod region reported an attack by drones on the city and the district.
On the night of April 20, drones attacked eight regions of Russia simultaneously. As a result of the air defense systems' work, fires broke out, and several objects of the energy infrastructure were damaged.
