Ukrainian drone attacks led to disruptions in electricity and heating in central Russia’s Oryol region and the southern Rostov region, local officials reported early on Friday.

Governor Andrei Klychkov stated, “An enemy strike has caused damage to utility infrastructure in Oryol,” noting that the repair efforts might result in temporary power and hot water interruptions in certain areas of the regional capital.

Klychkov later announced that schools in one district of Oryol would switch to online classes due to the utility disruptions.

The Telegram channel Astra relayed information that the Orlovskaya thermal power plant was among the facilities targeted during the nighttime attack, although this has not been officially verified.

In the Rostov region, Governor Yury Slyusar mentioned that several houses and industrial locations experienced power failures after a utility building underwent a brief fire incident, along with damage to a high-voltage power line in Rostov-on-Don.

Slyusar also indicated that two villages in the area experienced similar power outages.

Meanwhile, Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev of the Samara region reported that “enemy drones targeted industrial facilities” in the automaking centers of Tolyatti and Novokuibyshevsk.

Reports circulating on Telegram channels suggested that the facility hit in Tolyatti was TolyattiAzot, one of the largest producers of ammonia in Russia and worldwide. The Moscow Times could not independently verify this information.

There were no reports of injuries or fatalities resulting from the drone strikes.

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that its air defense systems shot down 94 Ukrainian drones across seven regions, including over the Caspian and Azov seas, overnight.

It noted that 36 drones were intercepted over the Rostov region, and six over the Samara region, while no drones were reported in the Oryol region.
