18 drones shot down in Volgograd and Rostov regions

Nine drones launched from Ukraine were shot down in two regions of the Southern Federal District overnight. A drone attack in the Volgograd Region delayed train traffic.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, drone attacks were recorded last night in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Volgodonsk, and in the Kamensky and Belokalitvinsky districts of the Rostov Region. In Kamensk-Shakhtinsky a house roof was damaged, and in the Lesnoy farm of the Kamensky District, two cars were damaged.

From 21.50 Moscow time to 05.20 Moscow time, 99 Ukrainian drones were destroyed and intercepted, including nine in the Volgograd region and nine in the Rostov region, the Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel.

According to the publication, the remaining drones were shot down in the Bryansk, Smolensk, Kaluga, Voronezh, Kursk, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Oryol, Tambov regions, in Crimea and over the Black Sea.

The power supply in the railway contact network was disrupted

There are no wounded in the Volgograd region as a result of the attack, said Governor Andrey Bocharov. "As a result of the fall of drone debris, the power supply to the railway contact network in the Oktyabrsky District was disrupted. Specialists from operational and repair services, as well as Russian Railways, are carrying out work at the site to clarify the damage and eliminate the consequences," his words are quoted in a publication on the regional administration's Telegram channel.

The railway contact network was damaged as a result of a drone attack at the Zhutovo station in the Oktyabrsky District, the Southern Transport Prosecutor's Office clarified on its website. "In connection with the existing train delays, the Volgograd transport prosecutor is monitoring compliance with passenger rights," the publication says.

As of 09.55 Moscow time, Russian Railways has not published information on the number of delayed trains or the duration of the delays on its Telegram channel.

Recall that on the night of July 21, as a result of a drone attack, the building of the Kamenolomny railway station in the Rostov region caught fire. This led to a disruption in the passenger train schedule, as did a similar incident that occurred on July 19 on the Likhaya - Zamchalovo section in the Rostov region.

On the night of July 26, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky and six districts of the Rostov region were attacked by drones. In Zimovnikovsky District, a car burned down near a highway as a result of a drone attack, killing two people.

On the night of July 24, the authorities of North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria and Stavropol Krai, as well as the mayor's offices of Novorossiysk and Anapa, announced the threat of a drone attack. That same night in Sochi, two women died as a result of a drone attack, and another 11 people were injured.

On July 23, two women and a man were taken to a hospital in Novocherkassk, injured as a result of a drone attack.
