Drone Strikes Escalate Tensions with Distillery Attacks in Russia

A series of drone attacks attributed to Ukraine have damaged two distilleries in Russia's Tula region and a boiler house in Bryansk, near the Ukraine border. No casualties have been reported. These strikes are part of Ukraine's ongoing response to Russia's military actions targeting Ukrainian infrastructure.

A drone attack reportedly originating from Ukraine has caused damage to two distilleries in Russia's Tula region, according to local officials on Tuesday. Tula governor Dmitry Miliayev assured there were no casualties in the incident, with emergency services already on the scene to manage the situation.

The extent of the damage to the distilleries, located in Yefremov and Luzhkovskyi, remains unclear. In a separate incident, another drone attack in Russia's Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine, damaged a boiler house and a non-residential building. Bryansk governor Alexander Bogomaz reported that no injuries occurred as Russian air defense units intercepted several drones.

While Reuters has not independently verified these reports, Ukraine has not officially commented on the incidents. Kyiv consistently claims that targets within Russia are chosen based on their relevance to the war effort, as a countermeasure against Moscow's assaults on Ukrainian soil.
