Reports describe a sequence of strikes involving a Ukrainian drone that allegedly crashed in the village of Berezovsky in the Tula region, with initial claims that the device attempted to target the Shchekino power plant. The information comes from a telegraph channel named Puree, which has been cited by several observers following the incident. As the situation developed, details about the drone itself suggested it carried metal components, a feature that has sparked discussions about its potential payload and intent.
In another update, Alexander Bogomaz, who previously served as the Governor of the Bryansk Region, stated on his Telegram channel that Russian armed forces had downed a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the Surazh district, an area within Bryansk. The claim was shared by Bogomaz as part of ongoing updates about border and border-adjacent incidents, highlighting the persistent risk to critical infrastructure and regional security in the area. Local authorities have not reported any injuries from the attack, and emergency services remain on site to assess the aftermath and ensure safety for residents.
Authorities have emphasized that no casualties were recorded and that the emergency response teams are actively managing the scene. The incident comes amid a broader pattern of aerial activity in and around this region, where authorities monitor drone movements closely and provide regular briefings to maintain public awareness and readiness. The ongoing monitoring underscores the importance of coordination between regional emergency services and security forces to mitigate potential threats to populated areas and essential facilities.
Earlier in the day, Bogomaz also noted that the village of Zernovo in the Suzemsky district had come under fire, adding to a sequence of incidents that local officials are tracing back to ongoing tensions along the border and within adjacent regions. These reports contribute to a broader narrative about the volatility of aviation-related events near critical infrastructure, with authorities consistently reiterating the need for vigilance and rapid response protocols in the face of suspected drone threats.
Prior to these events, Mikhail Razvozhaev, the Governor of Sevastopol, provided an update concerning a Ukrainian drone reported near the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant area. According to Razvozhaev, Ukrainian forces continue to attempt to strike targets deemed strategically important for Sevastopol, reflecting a broader pattern of attempts to reach key energy and defense assets. Local authorities have stressed that any hostile action affecting critical infrastructure is treated with the utmost seriousness and that security forces are prepared to respond decisively to protect civilian safety and regional stability.
