A video has been circulating on social media and in the media, capturing the moment a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strikes an energy infrastructure facility in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation.
The video shows the drone reaching its target, followed by a powerful explosion accompanied by a bright flash and a fire.
It is likely that the strike caused a fire at the substation, leading to disruptions in electricity supply in several settlements in the region.
This is not the first instance of a UAV attack on critical infrastructure deep within Russian territory. Russian authorities have not yet provided official comments regarding the consequences of this specific strike.
