Russians have reported a new drone attack overnight on January 11, with a pumping station in Kaluga having allegedly been damaged, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense and Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that there was an attempt to strike objects on Russian territory overnight. As usual, the Russians accused Ukraine of a "terrorist attack."

Occupiers insist that three drones were intercepted in three regions - Rostov, Tula, and Kaluga.

"As a result of the explosion, the building was damaged. There were no fires or injuries," Shapsha wrote.
