“Bavovna” in Oryol and Donetsk: what is known
On November 16, at around 8:00 PM, Russian Telegram channels began reporting that many drones were flying in the direction of the Oryol region.
After that, reports began to spread on social networks about loud sounds heard in different areas of the city, as well as smoke rising in the area of the energy facility.
The Russian authorities have not provided any official comments at this time. However, local Telegram channels are massively publishing photos and videos showing the outbreaks and the aftermath of the explosions.
If the information about the attack on the CHP is confirmed, it could have a significant impact on the operation of the region's energy infrastructure, as the plant provides electricity to industrial facilities and residential areas.
Drones also attacked the Chaikin substation in temporarily occupied Donetsk, causing a blackout in the city.
