Details: In particular, a drone attack caused damage to an industrial facility in the city of Engels in Russia’s Saratov Oblast.

This information was confirmed by Saratov Oblast Governor Roman Busargin, though he did not specify which facility was affected.

Quote from Busargin: "There is damage at an industrial facility in Engels as a result of the UAV attack. Emergency and operational services are working intensively."

Busargin has previously referred to an "industrial facility" in relation to an oil depot struck by drones on 8 January.

Updated: Russian Telegram channels reported that drones also attacked Kazan. Citing local residents, they mention a large fire near the Kazanorgsintez plant. The strike reportedly targeted not the plant itself but a liquefied gas storage base.

Kazanorgsintez, according to its website, is one of Russia's leading chemical industry businesses, producing polymers, ethylene copolymers, polycarbonates, ethanolamines and other products.

Later, Rustam Minnikhanov, Head of the Republic of Tatarstan, confirmed the attack.

Quote from Minnikhanov: "I visited the place of the fire caused by the drone attack. Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene to extinguish the blaze."

He claimed that "there are no casualties or significant damage".
