The Baza Telegram channel reported that a drone allegedly tried to attack a military unit in the Gorodyshchensky district at almost 3 a.m. According to the Telegram channel, the drone was intercepted and no damage was done.

In turn, the Volgograd-based V1.ru reports that the downed drone fell on a military facility, without specifying which one.
