**Russia’s Southern Region Hit by Ukrainian Drone Attack**
Last night, Ukraine launched a drone attack on the southern Russian region of Rostov. The attack sparked several fires, including one at a power substation.
According to Yuri Slyusar, the acting regional governor of Rostov, there were no injuries from the attack. However, the fire at the substation did cause some damage. Luckily, the fire was quickly put out and contained to an area of about 500 square meters (5,400 square feet).
**Russia Destroys Ukrainian Drones**
Meanwhile, Russia’s defense units were able to destroy a total of 24 Ukrainian drones overnight. This includes seven drones that were targeted over the Rostov region. Russia’s Defense Ministry reported this on Telegram, but did not provide information on how many drones Ukraine had launched.
It’s worth noting that Reuters was unable to verify these reports independently, and there was no immediate comment from Kyiv. However, it’s clear that tensions between Russia and Ukraine remain high.
**Ukraine’s Motives**
As we’ve seen before, the Rostov region has been a frequent target of Ukraine’s strikes. Ukraine has consistently stated that its attacks inside Russia are aimed at destroying infrastructure key to Moscow’s war efforts. These attacks are also in response to Russia’s continued strikes on Ukraine.
This ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a complex issue with no easy solutions. One thing is certain, however: the situation remains volatile and unpredictable.
