Astra reported the information. Oryol residents reported hearing explosions during the night.“One of the eyewitness videos captured the moments of the explosions — according to ASTRA’s analysis, the footage was taken in the Yagodny Lane area. The distance from the filming location to the Oryol thermal power plant is about 1.5 kilometers. The second video, previously published by ASTRA, was filmed on Andrianova Street, about 1.2 kilometers from the power plant,” the report said.According to the local governor, drones were allegedly destroyed over the city at that time, and “several private houses and a utility building were damaged by falling debris.”However, Astra notes that residents of Oryol believe the attack was carried out with missiles.“The attack on the thermal power plant was carried out using a rocket-propelled weapon — a missile or a jet-powered UAV. The video does not capture any sounds of an air raid siren, air defense activity, or the characteristic buzzing of a propeller drone,” the channel’s analyst added.At the same time, it was emphasized that the Oryol thermal power plant is the largest source of electricity and heat in the region, providing both power and heating supply.That same night, Russia also reported a drone attack on the outskirts of Vladimir.On the night of November 4, Ukrainian drones operated by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Special Operations Forces attacked the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez oil refinery.
