Two spouses were killed and four others, including a 10-year-old child, were wounded when drones hit private homes near Belgorod, the region's operational headquarters said. One house was completely destroyed; a neighboring home had its roof and fence damaged and its windows blown out.
NASA FIRMS satellites recorded a fire at an oil depot north of Belgorod, The Moscow Times reported. The regional operational headquarters did not mention a strike on the oil depot. According to the outlet, the depot supplies fuel to industrial and agricultural enterprises as well as gas stations.
In the Tver region, a plant in the village of Redkino in the Konakovsky district caught fire, Governor Vitaly Korolev said. Workers were evacuated, no deaths or injuries were reported among them, and the fire was extinguished, he said.
The Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ reported that the target was the Redkino Experimental Plant, the region's largest chemical enterprise. According to the channel, it produces fuel for Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles, additives for diesel fuel and aviation kerosene. The authorities did not confirm a strike on the plant, which was already attacked in February. The plant's website describes "unique chemical products" for the aviation and space industries.
In the Kaluga region, air defense forces destroyed 26 drones, Governor Vladislav Shapsha said. According to his statement, Ukrainian forces struck the city's infrastructure, nine people were wounded and five were hospitalized. Private homes were damaged in two municipal districts and in Kaluga.
The Russian Defense Ministry said 505 fixed-wing drones were shot down over 19 Russian regions, annexed Crimea and the waters of the Black and Azov Seas.
Accounts differ: the Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ reported an attack on the Redkino Experimental Plant, while Tver region Governor Vitaly Korolev said only that there was a fire at an "enterprise" in the village of Redkino, without naming the facility. The Moscow Times, citing NASA FIRMS satellite data, reported a fire at an oil depot near Belgorod, while the region's operational headquarters did not mention a strike on the oil depot, reporting only hits on private homes.
