Explosive Night in Russia: Several Regions Attacked by Drones.

Russia: Drone Attacks and Suspension of Airport Operations

A massive drone attack occurred in Russia, leading to the temporary suspension of operations at seven airports. The targets of the attack were airports in Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Grozny, Kaluga, Saratov, and Ulyanovsk.

In the Kaluga region of Russia, as a result of this attack, an industrial facility caught fire, and an oil refinery in Volgograd was shelled.

The governors of four regions confirmed the fact of the drone attack. Rosaviation reported temporary restrictions at these airports.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that they shot down 40 Ukrainian drones during the attack.

Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Political and Legal Studies, pointed out that the attack on the oil refinery in Volgograd became a target due to its importance - the plant is among the top 10 oil refineries in Russia.

Kovalenko suggests that the Russian defense system successfully countered the drone attacks. This attack was aimed not only at the oil refinery but also at other targets. It should be noted that this is not the first Time that the Russians have tried to defend it with all their might, Kovalenko stated.

Powerful explosions occurred in Volgograd on the night of February 15. According to reports from Russian Telegram channels, the drone attack took place near the oil depot in the city.
