Multiple regions in Russia come under Ukrainian drone attacks

Eight individuals, including a child, sustained injuries following a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Ulyanovsk region on Friday morning, according to Governor Alexei Russkikh. The governor informed this via Telegram, noting that both industrial and civilian infrastructure suffered damage in the attack. In Russia's neighboring Belgorod region, a tragic incident unfolded overnight when a Ukrainian drone targeted a truck, resulting in the death of one civilian and the wounding of another.

Governor Alexander Gusev of Voronezh region reported that air defense forces successfully neutralized 88 drones over the region's capital and six districts in the preceding night. Four individuals were injured in Voronezh, with residential buildings, vehicles, and industrial facilities experiencing damage. In a separate incident, the Governor of Perm region, Dmitry Makhonin, reported on Telegram that air defense units and mobile fire groups were effectively countering a "massive" drone attack on his region.

Russia claims to have targeted Ukrainian defense industry facilities and logistics hubs during the night. Makhonin disclosed that an industrial facility was the primary target, but there were no initial reports of casualties, as emergency services were attending to the situation. The authenticity of these reports cannot be independently verified by Reuters.
