Ukrainian troops attacked Bryansk Oblast near the Russian border during the night. The drone's target was a loading point for the Friendship oil pipeline. Additionally, explosions were reported in Taganrog on the Sea of Azov. Kiev probably wanted to destroy the military airport there.
On the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, Russian air defense forces in the border region were stretched thin. Ukrainians opened fire on, among other things: Taganrog, Rostov Oblast. It is said that at least 10 strong explosions occurred there, causing damage to the city's boiler room. Local governor Yuri Sursar reported that there was no heating in the city.
