On the morning of December 25, drones attempted to attack the military airfield in Baltimore, located in Voronezh, Russia. The governor of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation, Vyacheslav Gladkov, also declared that a drone attack occurred in the Belgorod region and resulted in a power outage for six settlements.
ASTRA and Gladkov reported that on Telegram.
On the morning of December 25, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that air defenses allegedly intercepted 59 drones. At the same time:
- 26 drones were allegedly destroyed over the Belgorod region,
- 23 over the Voronezh region,
- about three over the Kursk, Bryansk, and Tambov regions,
- one over the Sea of Azov.
According to the Russian governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, a power line was damaged as a result of the dropping of explosive devices.
"Residents of the villages of Gora-Podol, Glotove, Kozynka, Novostroivka-Pervaya, as well as the resettled settlements of Bezimennoye and Novostroivka Vtoraya are temporarily without electricity," he said.
As the Russian publication notes, yesterday, drones tried to strike the Baltimore military airfield in Voronezh, over which several drones were allegedly shot down.
ASTRA notes that the wreckage of the drones allegedly fell on a garage in Voronezh, as a result of which it burned down.
In the village of Novogremyachoye, a downed drone damaged the roof of a residential building.
"There are no victims; the airfield is not damaged," the publication writes.
For reference:
The Baltimore military airfield is located in Voronezh, approximately 175 km from Ukraine. The 47th Bomber Aviation Regiment of the 105th Mixed Aviation Division is stationed there.
The primary aircraft utilized by the Russians for guided aerial bombings is the Su-34.
It's worth mentioning that the Security Service of Ukraine recently conducted a drone attack on an ammunition depot at the Kadamovsky training ground near the settlement of Novocherkassk in the Rostov region. A loud explosion was heard and recorded at the site. The Russians had been using this depot to supply their troops toward Kramatorsk. It's worth noting that the Kadamovsky training ground is among the largest in Russia.
It should be noted that on the morning of December 21, in Kazan, Russian Republic of Tatarstan, unknown drones hit the upper floors of a building in the Azure Skies residential complex.
Specifically, Kazan is home to a gunpowder plant that plays a crucial role in the Russian military-industrial complex. The city is a major hub for this complex due to the presence of the Kazan Gunpowder Plant. This vital facility supplies the Russian armed forces with ammunition and components for missile manufacturing.
On the night of December 19, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the infrastructure and production facilities of the Novoshakhtinsk Oil Products Plant, located in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation. This operation was carried out with the participation of the Naval Forces of Ukraine's armed forces, the Security Service of Ukraine, and other defense components.
