Explosions occurred in Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk.
Ukrainian drones have traveled a record distance, reaching the Russian Urals. This was reported by Sergey Sternenko, an adviser to Ukraine's defense minister.
In Yekaterinburg in the Sverdlovsk region, a Russian REB directed a drone directly into a residential house, injuring six Russians.

Russian media reported that the 25th to 30th floors of the Trinity apartment complex in the city center were hit.
Explosions were also heard in Chelyabinsk, local channels reported. The airport imposed temporary restrictions on the arrival and departure of flights.

Russian propagandists complain that during a 10-hour flight, Ukrainian drones did not encounter a single air defense operation, quite freely traveling more than 1,800 kilometers and flying to the "deep rear."

Russians also state that the drone danger regime and the "Cover" plan were first introduced in the Kurgan region, which lies at the junction of the Urals and Siberia.
In the meantime, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that 127 Ukrainian drones were allegedly intercepted and destroyed overnight over Russian regions.
