Overnight Ukraine Drone Strike Ignites Russian Munitions Depot

An overnight Ukrainian drone attack set fire to a Russian munitions depot in the Voronezh region, near the two nations’ shared border, Russian and Ukrainian officials claimed Sunday.

On Telegram, regional governor Alexander Gusev wrote, “Several drones were detected and destroyed overnight by air defence systems above the Voronezh region”.

“Their falling debris set off a fire in a depot in the Podgorensky district, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the Ukrainian border”, Gusev continued.

“Explosives began to detonate”, Gusev said, adding that there were no signs that anyone was injured.

Rescue personnel were on the scene and Gusev stated that residents living near the depot were being evacuated.

Russia and Ukraine have widely utilized drones, including large explosive devices with a range of hundreds of kilometres (miles), since Russia launched its military offensive in February 2022.

Ukraine has increased its strikes on Russian territory this year, targeting both energy infrastructure that it claims supports the Russian army and towns and villages along the border.
