"Bavovna" (explosion ironically) in Russia

In Russia, over the past few months, explosions have been occurring almost daily in various regions, and local authorities and officials are talking about various "drone attacks."

For example, on the night of September 30, there was a sound of an explosion in the village of Pogar in the Bryansk region. Following this, a massive fire broke out at the local substation, leaving the entire settlement without electricity.

On the night of September 28, in the Kursk region of Russia, there were reports of a "massive drone attack." The local governor, Roman Starovoit, claimed that their air defense supposedly shot down at least 10 drones.

Additionally, in Russia, it was also reported that one of the UAVs "dropped two explosive devices on the substation, and one of the transformers ignited." As a result, five populated areas and a hospital were left without power.
