Overnight into Saturday, Ukrainian drones carried out strikes on targets in two Russian regions — the city of Tolyatti in Samara region and Taganrog in Rostov region.

Fires at industrial sites

Following the drone strikes on both cities, fires broke out at industrial facilities. Details on the extent of the damage or possible casualties have not yet been disclosed.

Tolyatti is a major industrial city in the Samara region, while Taganrog lies in the Rostov region, which borders Ukraine and has repeatedly been targeted by drone strikes before. Both regions are located a considerable distance from the front line, suggesting Ukraine's continued efforts to reach targets deep inside Russian territory.

No official statement on the incident has yet been released by Russian authorities, and Ukraine has not officially commented on the specific strike either. The event fits into Ukraine's broader drone campaign, which has recently and regularly targeted industrial and energy infrastructure on Russian territory.
