Raging Fires as Ukraine Hits Gas and Industrial Sites in 5 Russian Regions Overnight (Video)

Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks overnight on March 13, targeting energy and industrial sites in five regions of Russia. Strikes were reported in Voronezh, Rostov, Saratov, Kaluga, and Krasnodar, leading to explosions and fires. Russian sources confirmed that Ukrainian kamikaze drones targeted key gas infrastructure facilities, including a gas transmission station in Rostov region and the Gazprom Transgaz enterprise in Saratov. The regional governors acknowledged the attacks, stating that air defence systems were activated, and while some drones were intercepted, their debris caused fires and destruction in several areas.

In Saratov region, the Petrovsk linear production management facility, responsible for the operation of main gas pipelines, was among the targets. Reports indicate that loitering munitions, commonly known as kamikaze drones, were used in the strikes. The attacks temporarily disrupted flights at Saratov and Voronezh airports. No information has been provided on casualties.

Meanwhile, a missile strike was reported on a factory producing livestock feed in Russia’s Kursk region. Local sources claim that four workers, including one woman, were killed, and two others were injured, with one in serious condition. The strike destroyed one of the plant’s workshops and damaged equipment in several others. Vehicles parked at the site were also set on fire.

The escalation of strikes comes as Russian forces continue their offensive in Kursk region, forcing Ukrainian troops to reposition. Moscow’s military has repeatedly targeted civilian infrastructure, including residential areas and public facilities in occupied territories. Despite Kremlin propaganda blaming Ukraine for attacks on Russian soil, evidence shows that Russian forces have mistakenly bombed their own towns on multiple occasions. In addition to misfires, Russia has launched indiscriminate strikes on civilian areas in Ukraine, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
