Drone attacks in Russia
Over recent months, Russia has witnessed a surge in wildfires and drone attacks, occurring frequently in Moscow and other regions. Incidents have escalated at ports, military facilities, factories, and oil depots.
An explosion rocked the Belgorod region on March 5, originating from an oil depot. RBC-Ukraine's sources within the security services indicated that the attack on the oil depot in the Belgorod region was orchestrated by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. According to the informant, the strikes were carried out by drones of Ukrainian manufacturers.
In February 2024, a fire broke out at the MiG factory in Moscow, responsible for the comprehensive servicing - from design to repair - of the eponymous Kinzhal fighter jets involved in attacks against Ukraine.
