After a drone attack from Ukraine on Tuesday, seven Russian villages in the border area with the invaded country were cut off from the electricity grid. In the morning, a drone dropped an explosive device on a substation in the village of Snagost, about 15 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The governor of the region, Roman Starovoyt, wrote this on Telegram.
So no one was injured. The Ukrainian secret service SBU confirmed the drone strike to several domestic media, including the portal Ukrainska Pravda. “The Russians should be aware that they will face a harsh response if they continue to attack Ukrainian energy facilities,” an SBU official said. Russian air defenses previously announced that they had repelled a total of four drone attacks over Kursk on Monday evening.
The drone is said to have hit the building of the Russian domestic secret service FSB
The regional capital Kursk was already attacked with drones on Sunday. One reportedly hit the building of Russia’s domestic secret service FSB, and a second hit an oil refinery, media in Kiev reported, citing Ukrainian military intelligence. The Kursk region officially announced that a drone caused minor damage to the roof of an administrative building.
Moscow has repeatedly reported Ukrainian drone attacks in recent weeks. However, these are out of proportion to Russia’s massive attacks in its nineteen-month war of aggression against its neighboring country.
Seven injured in attack in Kherson region
At least seven people were injured by Russian air and drone strikes in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson on Tuesday, according to local authorities. Some injuries were serious: around noon, doctors were still fighting for the life of an 83-year-old woman, as Kherson’s military governor Olexander Prokudin wrote on Telegram. According to him, Russian air force activity over the region has increased in recent days.
Commander of the Black Sea Fleet ‘risen from the dead’
Contrary to Kiev’s claims, the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, Viktor Sokolov, is still alive, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said. The ministry on Tuesday released video footage and photos purporting to show Sokolov during a video conference with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other senior officers.
The video was shown on Russian state television. A day earlier, Ukrainian special forces said Sokolov had been killed last week in an attack on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol on the annexed Crimean peninsula: “The attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet killed 34 officers . , including the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Another 105 occupiers were injured. The headquarters cannot be restored.” The Russian Defense Ministry announced after the attack that one soldier was missing.
