The morning of October 26th was a noisy one in Russia’s Tula region, where a “drone alert” was declared. Local residents say they heard at least ten explosions starting at 5 a.m.
The regional authorities stated that all the UAVs were shot down, and that there were no consequences of the attack. The Russians filmed the work of Russian air defense.
What is known
Some Russian Z-channels began reporting about powerful explosions over the Tula region at approximately 5 a.m. Kyiv time (around 6 a.m. Moscow time).
“More than 10 powerful explosions thundered over the Tula region. Previously, air defense was working over the region. As local residents told SHOT, they woke up to numerous explosions at around 5 am. (4 hours behind Kyiv. – Ed.) Bright flashes were visible in the sky over the Leninsky district and Zarechye,” the report said.
Meanwhile, Russians in local forums were discussing how many explosions were heard in different places, and were also filming the work of Russian air defense.
At approximately 7 a.m. Kyiv time, the governor of the Tula region, Dmitry Milyaev, made a statement. He announced the “destruction of 26 Ukrainian drones” and “no damage to buildings and infrastructure,” presciently adding the words “according to preliminary information” to the latter statement.
At the time of Milyaev’s statement, “the danger of a UAV attack in the region remained: the alarm was declared there at around 3 am.
Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that the day before, drones attacked a power transmission substation in the Volgograd region. A fire broke out at an important facility for the aggressor state’s energy system. Not so long ago, this substation was already attacked.
Let’s hope this attack destroyed something valuable to the cockroaches.
