The Volgograd region used air defense forces to repel a drone attack. This was stated by the governor of the region, Andrei Bocharov, as quoted by Russian propaganda media, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
“In Uryupinsk, as a result of the fall of the UAV wreckage, a fire was detected at an oil depot,” the head of the region said.

Last night, a drone attack on Saratov left two people dead and damaged a residential building, a kindergarten and a clinic. Eyewitnesses reported powerful explosions over Saratov and Engels, and the public address system called on citizens to turn off electricity and gas and go deeper into their homes and apartments. According to unconfirmed reports, a number of strikes hit the territory of the Saratov oil refinery. The Russian Defense Ministry reported the destruction of 28 drones over the region.
