NEW DELHI: Crimea was the target of a large drone attack launched by Ukrainian troops early on Friday. According to reports from Russian authorities, the harm caused a plant to catch flames in southern Russia and cause power cuts in the town of Sevastopol.
Kyiv’s response to Moscow’s deeds in northern Ukraine was the drone strike. The pressure on the outnumbered and outgunned Russian forces increased as a result, who are gladly awaiting delayed shipments of crucial weapons and ammunition from their Eastern allies.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, 51 Russian robots were shot down over Crimea, 44 over the Krasnodar place, and six over the Belgorod area. Six water drones were also destroyed in the Black Sea by Russian warplanes and police vessels.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, who is the government of Sevastopol, mentioned that the aircraft attack caused damage to the state’s power plant. He warned residents about possible power cuts in some areas of the city and that it might take a moment to fully restore power supplies.
He said in a statement that” social companies are doing their best to regain the energy system as quickly as possible.
Razvozhayev announced that the city’s universities would temporarily close.
A gas storage facility and aircraft were damaged in earlier Russian air attacks near Sevastopol and Belbek Air Base. Based on satellite pictures that Maxar Technologies provided, this knowledge was derived.
Authorities in the Krasnodar place reported that a drone strike started the day before, igniting a fire at a Tuapse crude refinery. The blaze was afterwards contained. Fortunately, there were no deaths.
Factories and other power sources that are deep within Russia have been repeatedly targeted by Ukraine. Major damage has been caused by this.
Novorossiysk, a major port on the Black Sea, was attacked by Ukrainian drones in a substantial attack. According to Veniamin Kondratyev, the government of the Krasnodar area, the fragments of the broken robots resulted in numerous fires, although happily, there were no casualties reported.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, the government of Belgorod, reported that a Russian aircraft struck a vehicle, killing the person and her 4-year-old child. He mentioned that a gas tank at a gas station in the area caught fire as a result of another assault.
Russian forces were engaged in fighting in the northeastern Kharkiv region to halt Russian forces ‘ advance. The Russian breakthroughs began the week before.
The town of Vovchansk is situated only 5 kilometers ( 3 miles ) away from the Russian border. In subsequent battle, it has become a focal point. Around 8, 000 residents have been evacuated from the city by Ukrainian officials. The Russian army typically uses flying strikes to progress to destroy towns and villages, but this is not their style.
Along the roughly 1, 000 mile back line, which extends from north to south across southeast Ukraine, Russia has been conducting defense tests at different points along the territory. This top line has remained virtually intact for the last 18 months, evolving into a war of attrition.
New Russian attacks have taken place in a number of areas of Ukraine, including the eastern Donetsk area, the northern Chernihiv and Sumy areas, and the southern Zaporizhhia area. The main objective appears to be to strain the now sparse resources in Ukraine and exploit any shortcomings.
