Local authorities in the Voronezh region of Russia reported that ten drones were shot down or intercepted, but debris from one caused a fire at an industrial enterprise, specifically an ethanol plant. Ukrainian drones reportedly targeted a distillery in the Novokhopyorsk district of the Voronezh region. Governor Alexander Gusev confirmed that Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems shot down and suppressed about ten UAVs. Despite these defenses, fires ignited at the distillery, which is part of the 'Ethanol Spirit' plant in the village of Krasnoye. This incident adds to three other distilleries targeted earlier this week, indicating a pattern of attacks on critical infrastructure in the region. The distillery was reportedly destroyed in the attack.
