Telegram channel Mash reported that 12 explosions were heard in the industrial part of Lipetsk. According to locals, drones also attacked the city of Yelets from 03:30, and residents heard many “bangs and buzzes.” Mash published a video, probably filmed by locals, of an air raid siren over the city and the sounds of explosions.
Another Russian Telegram channel SHOT adds that the drones likely attacked the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant.
Later, Artamonov reported that two private houses were damaged as a result of falling UAV debris, there were no injuries, and on the territory of the Lipetsk aeration station, "an employee of the enterprise was injured."
