Explosions and fires in Russia

Explosions and fires have been occurring more frequently in Russia lately. Local authorities regularly accuse the Ukrainian military of allegedly attempting to attack Russian territory with drones.

In particular, such attacks are frequently reported in the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine. Just a week ago, there were claims of an attack on a military unit in the city of Karachev.
