Drone Attacks Target Russian Oil Refineries and Industrial Facilities

Russian regions are on high alert after a series of drone attacks targeted oil refineries and industrial facilities, leading to dramatic explosions and significant fires. The incidents occurred in Voronezh, Smolensk, and Lipetsk, sparking widespread concern. A video circulating on social media shows a massive fireball erupting from an oil refinery in Voronezh, Russia, after a drone attack. Local reports indicate that air defence forces shot down four drones in the region, but not before one caused significant damage at the refinery. In Smolensk, drone attacks sparked fires at fuel and energy facilities in two districts, with local governor Aleksey Ostrovsky confirming the incidents. Authorities in Lipetsk, another Russian region, also faced drone attacks at the Lipetsk Tractor Plant, which produces chassis for military vehicles. Although officials claimed the drones were shot down, locals reported multiple explosions in the industrial zone, suggesting possible damage to the plant.
