After a recent drone attack in the Podgorensky district, Voronezh governor Aleksandr Gusev has declared a state of emergency in Russia's south-western Voronezh region. The attack, which took place on Sunday, has caused a warehouse to catch fire, allegedly storing munitions. Moscow has vowed to respond to this attack, which occurred within their borders, with swift action.
According to Ukrainian sources, the warehouse was targeted because it was being used to supply ammunition to Russian troops fighting in Ukraine. Gusev confirmed that several UAVs were detected and destroyed by air defense forces, but unfortunately, their wreckage caused a fire at a nearby warehouse. The detonation of explosive items led to a state of emergency being declared in the region.
Although no one was injured in the attack, two elderly women were taken to the hospital for precautionary checks. Gusev stated that a team of operational services, military, and officials are working to eliminate the emergency. As a precaution, the evacuation of nearby residents has also been arranged, with about 50 people already being transported to temporary accommodation centers. Gusev assured that all necessary assistance is being provided to those affected.
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian source familiar with the matter revealed that the attack was carried out by drones from the Security Service of Ukraine. The source claimed that the warehouse was storing a variety of weapons, including surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles, shells for tanks and artillery, and ammunition for firearms. However, these claims have not been independently verified by CNN.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has promised a strong response from Russia in the foreseeable future. He criticized the United States and NATO for denying their involvement in the conflict with Russia, stating that they understand the truth of the matter. Lavrov's statement came after a conversation with a state broadcaster about the recent attack.
In other news, new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of his government's continued military aid for Ukraine. Starmer received congratulatory phone calls from various world leaders after his landslide victory in last week's general election. He will also be attending this week's NATO summit in Washington, along with other leaders, to mark the 75th anniversary of the alliance. Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Richard Marles will also be in attendance.
