Debris from Ukrainian drones crashed into several industrial enterprises in Russia's Volgograd Oblast in a mass overnight attack, governor Andrey Bocharov wrote on Feb. 13.

Explosions were heard across Volgograd and the neighboring city of Volzhsky.

In one district, drone debris fell onto a parking lot next to a high-rise residential building. Eyewitnesses reported a large-scale fire at the scene.

Airports in Volgograd, Saratov, and Penza have suspended operations due to the drone threat.

This attack follows a strike just 24 hours earlier, as overnight on Feb. 12, a series of powerful explosions rocked Volgograd Oblast, with reports indicating a missile strike and fire at a military arsenal in the village of Kotluban.

Governor Bocharov claimed that local air defense "repelled a missile attack" but admitted that "falling debris caused a fire at a Defense Ministry facility near Kotluban."

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
