Earlier in the day, Slyusar reported that an oil products factory in Novoshakhtinsk caught fire after a Ukrainian attack.

Also that day, Slyusar said that air defense forces (Air Defense Forces) destroyed seven drones over the Rostov region, including six in Taganrog and one in Bataysk. He also specified that there were no casualties or damage as a result of the attacks.

The AFU is trying to strike Russian territories against the background of the special operation in Donbass, the beginning of which was announced on February 24, 2022. The decision was taken due to the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
