Several Russian provinces subjected to new attacks by Ukrainian drones

A video shared by anonymous Telegram channels showed a fire and black smoke billowing from what appeared to be a destroyed fuel tank.

 

A description accompanying the video said the blaze broke out at the Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant in Zheleznogorsk, one of the largest iron ore mining and processing facilities in Russia. 

 

Two hours after announcing Wednesday's drone attack, Kursk region authorities issued an air raid alert for the town of Zheleznogorsk, which is located around 90 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. 

 

That warning was shortly followed by a statement from Starovoit that a second drone had attacked the Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant. 

 

He did not specify whether the facility had been the target of Wednesday's first drone strike as well, but he said no one had been injured.

 

Wednesday’s attack in the Kursk region came a day after Kyiv struck an oil depot in the nearby region of Belgorod, setting at least one fuel tank ablaze.
