(Reuters) – A Ukrainian drone attack spurred a fire at a power substation and at an oil depot in Russia’s Volgograd region, the governor of the region in southern Russia said on Tuesday.
“Air defence and electronic warfare forces suppressed a UAV (unnamed aerial vehicle) attack on the territory of the Volgograd region,” Andrei Bocharov, the governor, said in a post published on the Telegram channel on the region’s administration.
“As a result of falling UAV debris, fires broke out at a substation in Frolovo and an oil depot in Kalach-on-the-Don.”
