The Ukrainian drone attack on Lipetsk, Russia, on Oct. 22 has resulted in multiple explosions and fires across the city, according to Ukrainian monitoring channels and eyewitness footage. Lipetsk, a city of around 500,000 people and home to the Novolipetsk Steel Plant, which accounts for roughly 20% of Russia's total crude steel output, suffered damage to residential buildings, a clinic, and other structures.
The extent of the damage and the targets of the attacks remain unverified by the Kyiv Independent at the time of publication. The attack is the latest in a series of drone strikes by Ukrainian forces targeting key facilities in Russia, including an oil terminal, data center, and bridge in St. Petersburg on Oct. 16.
