Drones Attack Vladimirskaya Substation Again

Strike drones targeted an energy infrastructure facility near the Russian city of Vladimir overnight between November 4 and 5.

Astra reported on this, citing Vladimir region governor Aleksandr Avdeyev.

The strike hit the Vladimirskaya high-voltage substation (750 kV) in the settlement of Energetik, near Vladimir. Videos from the scene show flames and thick smoke rising from the site.

There has been no official confirmation from the Russian authorities regarding the type of facility that was attacked.

“Specialists are working at the scene. Cleanup efforts will start at daylight. We ask everyone to remain calm. All essential services are operating as usual,” Aleksandr Avdeyev wrote.

The Vladimirskaya substation is one of the region’s major energy facilities. Its installed capacity is about 4,010 MVA. The substation is a key hub, with numerous 110–750 kV power transmission lines branching out from it, serving the regional power grid.

Its stable operation is critical to the reliability and balance of Russia’s power system.

In addition, strike drones already attacked the substation on October 31, 2025, causing a large fire that was captured in photos and videos by eyewitnesses.
