According to a local official, in one of the districts of the region, during the fall of drone debris, the railway’s contact network was severed, causing train delays.

“Currently, one train is delayed, and additional delays are expected for other trains,” the governor wrote on his Telegram channel.

The Russian official claims that over 10 drones were allegedly destroyed in the suburbs of Voronezh and several areas of the region.

“According to preliminary information, there are no casualties. A special headquarters has been set up by the South-Eastern Railway to expedite the recovery efforts… The threat of drone attacks in the Voronezh region remains,” the head of the Voronezh region stated.

Meanwhile, the governor of Belgorod region shared on his Telegram channel that the Krasnoyaruzhsky district was targeted in a drone attack. The official holds Ukraine responsible for this airstrike.

According to him, one of the drones struck the village of Verkhososna, damaging a power line, and leaving the village temporarily without electricity. The governor added that emergency crews are working to restore power.

Furthermore, the Russian official reported that in the village of Palatovo, due to the detonation of a drone, two people were injured and hospitalized.
