Telegram channels, citing residents, specified that the Atlas plant in the Kamensky district of the Rostov region was attacked by drones.
It is noted that drone strikes on Russian airfields have temporarily delayed Russia's attacks.
"Recently, drones have reached certain Russian airfields, including Olenya and others. There have been damaged bombers. This has allowed us to delay attacks on us by at least a few days," said Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Directorate, during a television marathon.
Earlier, it was reported that on the night of August 2-3, five drones attacked the Oryol region. In the village of Zhylyna, two drones struck a 16-story building. According to the regional governor, air defense systems intercepted three out of five drones. There are reportedly no casualties from the attack.
