The varying drone attacks in Russia and occupied territories of Donetsk region
On the night of November 29 to 30, drone attacks were recorded in various regions of Russia, causing damage to industrial facilities. Explosions were also heard in the occupied territories of the Donetsk region.
The governor of the Rostov region, Yuri Slyusar, reported damage to a boiler house in the town of Gukovo due to drone attacks. This incident left 128 apartment buildings and infrastructure facilities without heat. In Novoshakhtinsk, a fire at an industrial enterprise was recorded, which was quickly extinguished. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that 16 drones were destroyed in the region.
In the Krasnodar region, in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, a gas pipe at the “Slavyansk ECO” oil refinery was damaged. According to the operational headquarters, a fire was avoided, and a total of seven drones were liquidated in the region.
Explosions also occurred in the occupied part of the Donetsk region. According to unconfirmed reports, the attacks targeted railway hubs, which could complicate the logistics of Russian troops.
These events happen against the backdrop of recent strikes confirmed by the General Staff of Ukraine on facilities in Saratov and at the “Saki” airfield in Crimea on November 28. On November 29, strikes were carried out on the Afipsky oil refinery and the aircraft repair plant in Taganrog, resulting in a fire in the Tu-95 aircraft repair shop.
