  "account": "On October 28, Ukrainian drones targeted the Tula region in Russia, causing damage that Governor Dmitry Milyaev reported. Debris falling reportedly damaged apartment buildings and private homes in the city of Novomoskovsk, as well as infrastructure in the surrounding industrial zone. The Tula region's Ministry of Natural Resources and Rospotrebnadzor laboratories were deployed to the city; however, the governor did not specify the reason for their arrival.\n\nAccording to Ukrainian monitoring Telegram channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+, the Azot chemical plant was the target of the attack. Ukraine has previously targeted this plant. In Lipetsk, residents reported hearing explosions overnight on October 28. Ukrainian Telegram channels also indicated that a fire broke out near the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine.
