Also, a powerful fire after the attack broke out in an industrial zone in the city of Cheboksary" (Chuvashia). The footage of drones, explosions and their aftermath was posted online by Russians, writes Observer.

So, among the targets that unknown good drones chose in the Russian Federation this time was a military airfield in Engels in the Saratov region. The explosions there went off in the morning. Eyewitnesses reported air defense and REB work, and residents also complained about the lack of cell phone service.

Emergency services are working at the site." There was no mention of the airfield from which enemy aircraft take off to strike Ukraine.

Another airfield, the consequences of the attack on which can be seen even from space, is located in the Voronezh region of Russia - in Borisoglebsk. A few days ago, the Borisoglebsk Chkalov Aviation Training Center was attacked there, and two Russian servicemen were killed. The regional authorities concealed both the attack on the aviation center and the deaths of the occupants.

Now the "movement" in Borisoglebsk is again outstanding. Locals recorded on video drone overflights and explosions, as well as fire in the airfield area after the attack.

The fires there were also recorded by NASA satellites.

In Chuvashia's main city, Cheboksary, locals also observed drones in the sky and recorded them hitting an as yet unknown target in an industrial zone. Its eyewitnesses in the footage on the network label it as a "factory". At the same time, some videos are taken from the territory of the manufacturer of heating boilers "Vuterm", judging by them, the arrival occurred either at the plant or directly next to it.

What exactly was hit is still unknown. However, the Russian independent publication ASTRA notes that police blocked the entrance to the territory of JSC VNIIR-Progress after the attack. This company produces Kometa antennas for the Russian army, which protect the Russian Armed Forces' drones from Ukrainian REBs.

"New footage of Cheboksary residents shows that law enforcers blocked the entrance to the MVT Center shopping center on Yakovlev Avenue. On the other side of the shopping center is located "VNIIR-Progress". At the same time, the enterprise is about 4 kilometers away from the Vutherm plant, in the area of which there was a fire after the UAV attack, according to ASTRA analysis. "The reason for blocking the territory of VNIIR-Progress and the MVT Center shopping center is currently unknown," ASTRA specified.

The previous attack on this enterprise took place on June 9, after which it suspended work.

Subsequently, the head of Chuvashia Oleg Nikolaev confirmed the attack on VNIIR-Progress, according to him, the production is not working after the last attack in June this year. He also confirmed the attack on the building on Lapsarsky proezd.

"This morning an attack by two Ukrainian drones was recorded in Chuvashia. Thanks to the coordinated work of the emergency services managed to avoid casualties and victims. One drone landed on the roof of the vacant building of VNIIR JSC, where production has been suspended since the previous attack in June this year, the second damaged a warehouse under construction on Lapsarsky proezd. All services are working in a reinforced mode, we keep the situation under full control. Please remain calm and trust only official information," Nikolaev wrote.

After the arrival, a fire broke out at the site of the hit. Thick black smoke from it was visible from afar.
