Ukraine attacks Russian facility in deadly drone strike
Local authorities were killed and several apartments and industrial facilities were damaged in the Ukrainian drone attack in Saratov’s southern Russian region.
Governor Roman Busargin, who was published in Telegram messaging application on Sunday, was released after a destroyed drone.
“A few calm medical assistance required,” Busargin said.
“On -site assistance was provided and a person was hospitalized. Unfortunately, one person died.”
The Ministry of Defense said Russian air defense units destroyed 121 Ukrainian drones overnight.
He reports how many Ukrainian launch, but how many aircraft of defense units have downloaded.
Busarin did not specify what kind of industrial areas were damaged.
Social media footage showed thick black smoke rising on what appears to be an industrial zone.
Reuters confirmed the location seen in one of the videos as matches and satellite images of the region, but could not confirm when the video was taken.
The Ukrainian media, including the RBK-Ukrainian media organization, reported that the oil refinery in the city’s administrative center Saratov was wrong after a drone attack.
Reuters could not confirm these reports.
There was no official comment from Russia.
Industrial sources told Reuters, the refinery of Rosneft in Saratov, Saratov, had to suspend security for security reasons early this year after the Ukrainian drone attacks.
Russia’s Shut Telegraph Channel, which publishes information from the sources in the security services and law enforcement officers, reported that about eight explosions have been heard on Saratov and Engels, which are separated by the Volga River.
Russia’s Civil Aviation Authority Rosaviatsia said that Saratov had been stopped about two hours early on Sunday to ensure air safety on the telegraph flights entering and outward.
Both sides refused to target civilians in their strikes on each other’s territory in February 2022 with an invasion of a full -scale Ukraine in February 2022.
Kyiv said that his attacks in Russia aim to destroy the infrastructure, which is the key to Moscow’s war efforts, including energy and military infrastructure, and responds to Russia’s ongoing strikes.
