After wreckage from a downed Ukrainian drone set fire to a neighboring warehouse, a village in a border region of western Russia was evacuated on Sunday due to a series of explosions, according to local officials.
Videos posted on social media seemed to show rising black smoke clouds above the Voronezh region accompanied by a series of thunderous explosions.
According to Governor Alexander Gusev, the “detonation of explosive objects” was caused by falling wreckage. He claimed that although there were no casualties recorded people in a nearby village in the Podgorensky district were evacuated. Along with emergency services, military personnel, and government representatives working at the location roads were also stopped.
The Associated Press was informed by a Ukrainian security official that an armaments storage in the Voronezh region village of Serhiivka had been the target of an attack.
Under condition of anonymity the official stated “The enemy stored surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles shells for tanks and artillery and boxes of cartridges for firearms.” He was not allowed to provide the information to the media. “The occupiers supply ammunition to their troops in Ukraine from this warehouse.”
Ukrainian Drone Targets
The official added that a drone attack on an oil station in the Krasnodar area of Russia the day before was carried out by the State Security Service of Ukraine. The facility was experiencing a fire caused by falling drone debris according to reports from Russian emergency authorities.
During their morning briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that air defense systems had shot down a Ukrainian drone over the Belgorod region but they did not discuss either strike.
The strikes follow reports from a Ukrainian military spokeswoman to the Associated Press on Thursday that troops from Kyiv had withdrew from an area near Chasiv Yar a strategically significant town in the Donetsk region of Ukraine that has been reduced to ruins by a month-long Russian onslaught.
In an apparent effort to drag Ukraine’s defenders into an attrition-based conflict, Russian forces have been trying to wring victories in the country’s industrial east for months. Independent Russian news sources Meduza and Mediazona revealed on Friday that Moscow’s military were losing 200–250 soldiers in a combined probe.
According to military observers, the loss of Chasiv Yar could potentially jeopardize vital Ukrainian supply routes and surrounding cities, putting Russia one step closer to its declared goal of annexing the entire Donetsk region.
The energy infrastructure of Ukraine has also been severely affected by Russian assaults. Following the destruction of important power plants by recent Russian missile attacks, officials in Kiev announced on Saturday that the city has recovered two-thirds of its capacity to generate electricity.
According to Petro Panteleev, the deputy head of the Kyiv city administration, “colossal work has been carried out.” “The energy facilities of the city, primarily constructed during the Soviet era, are undergoing modernization and have significantly increased in efficiency.”
According to Ukrainian air force authorities, Russia launched 13 Shahed drones and two ballistic missiles throughout the course of Sunday night. Although all were shot down, the officials did not go into detail about the missiles’ effects.
According to regional officials in the area, eight persons lost their lives as a result of Russian attacks in Ukraine over the previous day.
Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported that four people had died in the Kherson district, and Governor Vadym Filashkin of Donetsk reported that two more persons had died in the towns of Niu-York and Ukrainsk. Governors Serhii Lysak and Oleh Syniehubov announced in their separate announcements that a 47-year-old man was killed in the Kharkiv area and a 65-year-old woman was killed in a Russian attack in the Nikopol district of Dnipropetrovsk.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported on Saturday night that a bus and a freight vehicle collided somewhere in Ukraine, killing fourteen persons and leaving one survivor.
One of the victims was a six-year-old child.
