Drones attacked a fuel plant in the Russian Federation

Drones attacked a Russian aviation fuel plant in the Tver region several times during the night.

The Baza Telegram channel reported on this.

A plant in Redkino, Tver region, was attacked twice by attack drones.

According to eyewitnesses, the first attack on the plant took place at around 2 a.m. Three unmanned aerial vehicles struck the facility.

One of the drones landed on the roof of workshop No. 4 and exploded. The second one was shot down by air defense forces and also fell near the shop. It exploded a few minutes later. The third drone attacked flammable liquid tanks on the plant’s premises, damaging a pipeline and starting a fire.

Two hours later, around 4 a.m., the plant was attacked by another UAV. The drone also came down near workshop No. 4.

The video of the second attack shows the drone’s distinctive appearance, similar to the Ukrainian Lyutyi drone.

In the eyewitness footage, the sounds of gunfire, probably from small arms, are also heard, which may indicate attempts to intercept the drones already above the plant.

According to the Telegram channel’s sources, the company’s staff was evacuated. According to preliminary reports, there were no injuries.

Currently, Russian officials have not provided any official information regarding the strike on the fuel plant. However, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the interception of four drones in the Tver region, two more in the Moscow region, and one over the Belgorod region.

Redkino Experimental Plant

The Redkino experimental plant specializes in producing fuel and other chemical products. According to publicly available data, it produces more than 40 types of products for the Russian defense aviation and space industry.

Located more than 1,000 kilometers from Ukraine, this is not the first time the facility has been targeted. Previously, in September 2023, the company was also attacked by drone strikes.
