Drone attack struck a liquefied petroleum gas storage base in Novospasskoye, Ulyanovsk Oblast, igniting a large-scale fire overnight, regional governor Alexey Russkikh announced on July 23.
Explosions echoed across the district before a massive fire erupted at the facility. Russkikh confirmed that a fuel and energy complex asset was hit, stating that emergency services were working on site to extinguish the blaze.

The strike in Ulyanovsk Oblast was part of a broader overnight wave of drone attacks targeting strategic Russian assets:

Moscow Oblast Interceptions: Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed that Russian air defenses "destroyed" four drones heading toward the capital overnight.
