The aggressor country Russia was attacked by drones on the night of September 29, resulting in fires in four regions. In particular, explosions were heard in the area of military towns, and other military and energy facilities.

Residents of the Krasnodar region, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Rostov, Voronezh and Volgograd regions complained about this. Before the local authorities announced the “repulse of the attack”, numerous images and videos with explosions in various places appeared in Russian media.

According to propagandists, it was loud at night in Yeysk, Krasnodar Krai. Commentators in local groups complained about the explosions that rang out near the military town, where the airfield of the Russian Navy is also located. The 859th Center for Combat Use and Retraining of Naval Airmen of the Navy and its 190th Training Mixed Aviation Regiment are based there.

Some pro-war social media platforms claimed that several UAVs were moving from the direction of the Bilosaray Spit in the direction of Yeysk and Primorsky-Akhtarsk, to energy and strategically important military facilities in the Volgograd, Tambov, Oryol, Lipetsk, Tula and Saratov regions. In addition, drones were allegedly seen in Kuban and Stavropol. According to the propagandists, it was “a total of 70 to 150 UAVs of the Armed Forces.”

Explosions were also heard in Tsimlyansk, Rostov region. At first, the governor declared that everything was “calm” – in the Azov region, Russian anti-aircraft fire allegedly destroyed four drones. And by morning, he had already counted “18 downed UAVs”, which, according to him, did not lead to any consequences.

According to the governor of the Voronezh region, “several downed drones fell” in the regional center, which caused fires. Local residents said they heard at least 10 explosions.

Later, the Russian public reported on new explosions in Voronezh, as well as explosions and fires in the Volgograd region, where a large ammunition depot in the village of Kotluban was probably hit.

The governors of the Volgograd and Rostov regions reported “dry grass catching fire” due to falling debris.
