Ukraine has launched a wave of drone attacks on Russia, causing fires at two Russian power plants.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, more than 158 Ukrainian drones have been deployed in 15 regions of the country, including the capital Moscow.
The Russian military claimed that these drones were intercepted and destroyed.
But as a result of the attack, a fire broke out at an oil refinery in Moscow in a “separate technical room,” the city’s mayor said.
Sergei Sobyanin reported that at least 11 drones were aimed at the capital and surrounding areas.
Meanwhile, 120 kilometers from the Russian capital, in the Tver region, loud explosions were heard near the Konakovo power plant.
Russian media reports that there is a fire at the factory.
The region’s governor, Igor Rudenya, acknowledged that the fire caused by an attack in the Konakovsky district had been brought under control, but did not provide details of the damage.
Local officials also reported that drones were used to attack the Kashira nuclear power plant in the Moscow region, but no fires, damage or casualties were reported.
