The attack took place on Friday morning. As a result, a large fire erupted at an oil storage facility in the Rostov region of Russia. The local governor, Yuri Slusar, confirmed that an industrial facility sustained damage.
The Russian Ministry of Defence reported the destruction of 47 drones in five regions, including the occupation of Crimea in recent attacks, with 29 in the Rostov region.
