In October, the Ethanol Spirit Plant in Krasnoye was already targeted twice. The facility is accused by the government of producing fuel and explosives to be used for military purposes.
Residents in Voronezh Oblast report that local officials have reported a series drone attacks by Ukraine on industrial facilities.
Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russia‘s military and energy infrastructure is part of a broader strategy that aims to undermine Russia’s war capabilities and demonstrate the country’s deep reach. These strikes are designed to disrupt Russian military supply lines and operational readiness.
For the second time in a month, Ukrainian drones attacked a distillery located in the village of Krasnoye, Voronezh oblast. Voronezh Oblast borders Ukraine and is located near the oblasts of Belgorod and Kursk.
According to Russian Telegram channel Astra, local residents shared videos of at least two drones exploding near the “Ethanol Spirit’ facility.
Alexander Gusev, the Governor of the region, confirmed that two industrial sites had been damaged. He did not specify which sites they were. Gusev reported that the roof of a utility building and a storage container were damaged at the Krasnoye plant, but no fire was reported.
The “Ethanol Spirit”, a distillery in Krasnoye Village, was attacked in the night of October 22 along with three others in the oblasts of Tula and Tambov.
