The Ministry of Defense of Russia announced the downing of drones over two regions of the Russian Federation. At the same time, Russian telegram channels write about the attack on the defense plant in Dzerzhynsk.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation claims that three Ukrainian drones were allegedly intercepted over the territory of the Nizhnygorod region, and another one was allegedly shot down over the Belgorod region.

Telegram channel Baza writes that the drones tried to attack the Sverdlovsk factory in Dzerzhynsk, a defense enterprise in the Nyzhnyi Novhorod region.

Eyewitnesses said that at approximately 2:00 a.m. they heard two loud explosions near the city's industrial zone. The Sverdlovsk plant located there produces explosives and defense products.

We will remind you that the Russian government has banned the export of gasoline to other countries since March 1. The restrictions were imposed after a series of attacks by the Ukrainian army on oil refineries and accidents, the consequences of which cannot be quickly overcome due to Western sanctions.
