According to Petro Andriushchenko, an advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, who wrote on Telegram,  Novoshakhtynsk, Kamiansk-Shakhtyn and Ust-Donetsk districts were subjected to massive drone attacks. 

NASA satellite imagery confirms at least two large fires that occurred during the attack near the town of Shakhta in Rostov Oblast, casting serious doubt on the claim of no damage, Andriushchenko points out.

"This is the third major attack by the Rostov region this week, which indicates that we are approaching a good result," Andriushchenko added. 

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, two more drones were shot down over Belgorod and one over Volgograd regions.

Also during the night, as ASTRA previously reported, explosions were heard in Orla, presumably due to a UAV attack. Neither the local authorities nor the Ministry of Defense reported anything about the explosions in Orla.
