Drones attack Russia’s Taganrog, key electrical substation possibly targeted

On November 15, Ukrainian OSINT channel Exilenova+ reported that at least 30 explosions were heard overnight at Russia's Akhtubinsk military airfield in Astrakhan Oblast. Footage showed a fire and what seemed to be ammunition detonations. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented on the reports, but Astrakhan Oblast Governor Igor Babushkin claimed that 31 drones were shot down in the region overnight.

The Akhtubinsk airfield houses the Russian Defense Ministry's 929th State Flight Test Center, a key facility for testing and evaluating new military aircraft and weapons systems. In August, the General Staff reported that a Su-34 aircraft was damaged in an attack on the airfield. The airfield, located about 650 kilometers from the front line, primarily stations Su-34 fighter-bombers used for strikes on Ukrainian territory.

On the same night, drones also targeted the Nizhnekamskneftekhim petrochemical plant in Tatarstan and a 220-kilovolt T-10 electrical substation in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast.
