On the night of Saturday, January 10, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a number of Russian regions with drones. In the Volgograd region, an oil depot caught fire due to falling UAV debris, according to local governor Andrey Bocharov. There are no reports of casualties. In case of evacuation of residents, a temporary accommodation point has been prepared in one of the schools in the village of Zhovtneve, Bocharov said, according to "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to Russian propaganda media.

Against the backdrop of drone attacks, airports in Volgograd, Gelendzhik, Krasnodar, and Cheboksary have introduced temporary restrictions on flights, according to Rosaviatsiya official Artem Korenyako.

On the night of January 10, Moscow’s Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports also suspended operations. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that one UAV was shot down on approach to Moscow.

In total, 59 UAVs were destroyed over Russian regions and occupied Crimea on the night of January 10, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
