It is reported that in Kirishi, Leningrad region, drones attacked the industrial zone of the Kirishi oil refinery - local authorities confirmed the incident. This refers to the region’s governor, Alexander Drozdenko.
Netizens also report that in Vyborg, also in the Leningrad region, loud sounds were heard due to air defense activity. Photos circulating online show the sky in the Russian region glowing red, apparently due to the drone attack.
