The fire probably occurred in the area of the Aurus and Sollers car factory buildings. One of the videos, probably filmed in the Yelabuga area, shows thick smoke in a car park. According to Exilenova+, the enterprise that was attacked was shot down.

"Given the previous unsuccessful attack on one of the buildings of "Alabuga Polytechnic", where Shahed (Geran) type UAVs are manufactured, one can estimate the approximate direction of movement of the UAV during the new attack. Unfortunately, it was shot down," the message reads.
