On August 29, a significant drone assault targeted the Rostov Oblast region in Russia, resulting in substantial damage at warehouses owned by the online retailer DNS. The incident, reported by Russian news outlet Astra, involved explosions heard in the cities of Rostov-on-Don and Aksai. Gov. Yuri Slyusar confirmed the attack, stating that fragments of the drones were discovered within the premises of warehouse facilities in the Aksai district. The debris from the drones is believed to have ignited a fire in a nearby forested area.
The Exilenova+ Telegram channel also reported that the drones targeted the DNS warehouses, and a large fire ensued at the location.
