Massive drone activity sparks panic as chemical plant and electrical substation catch fire in Moscow region
"Panic swept parts of Russia in the morning. Reports emerged of a large-scale drone attack. The drones allegedly targeted multiple locations across the country. Russian authorities said
their air defense systems intercepted a total of 99 drones. Of these, 47 were reportedly over the Black Sea. The events caused widespread alarm. Fires broke out at a chemical plant in Voskresensk. An electrical substation caught fire in Serpukhov. Both locations are in the Moscow region. Residents described the situation as frightening and chaotic.
At the same time, an electrical substation in Serpukhov caught fire. The fire caused significant power outages across the city and surrounding villages. Areas affected included Raismenivske, Ivantynove, Ignatiev, Kleimenove, Nizhne Shakhlove, Verkhne Shakhlove, Syanovo-2, Voronino, Vykhrove, Gavshino, Tverityne, and two streets in Serpukhov itself. Local authorities initially described the outage as a “technological failure.” Independent reports, however, suggested that the substation was actively burning. This raised questions about the official explanation." msn

Ukrainian drones hit Russian city as attacks intensify
"A drone crashed into a residential high-rise in the Russian city of Ryazan overnight amid a wave of reported drone attacks across several regions of the country.
The Moscow Times reported that Ryazan regional Governor Pavel Malkov said two people were injured in the incident but did not require hospital treatment.
He said the facades of two apartment buildings were damaged, adding that one of the buildings had recently been constructed and had no residents at the time. Malkov described the incident as a “terrorist attack.”
Residents reported hearing explosions during the night. According to a Russian opposition outlet, Astra, the drone struck around the 18th floor of a 26-storey building in the Otkritye residential complex.
Malkov also said drone debris fell at the site of an industrial facility, but he did not identify the location. A nearby oil refinery is believed to have been the intended target.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defense systems intercepted 22 Ukrainian drones over the Ryazan region overnight.
The ministry added that a total of 106 drones were destroyed across nine Russian regions and annexed Crimea, including Belgorod, Rostov, Voronezh, Kursk, Tula, Volgograd, Oryol, and Lipetsk." msn
