Details: According to Slyusar, drones were shot down over the Millerovo and Tarasovsky districts, as well as near the cities of Bataisk and Rostov-on-Don and the settlement of Nedvigovka in the Myasnikovsky district.

As usual, the governor claimed that air defence systems had successfully repelled the attack and reported no casualties. However, local residents posted videos on social media showing fires and damage to buildings.

People from several settlements reported hearing a large number of explosions throughout the night.

This is not the first such attack on the region, which serves as a major logistics and military hub for Russian occupation forces. Rostov Oblast is home to several military airfields, including one in Millerovo, as well as oil depots and other strategic Russian facilities.
