Volgograd: Russian air defense forces repelled a large-scale drone attack targeting Volgograd region's transport and energy infrastructure overnight, regional authorities said Monday. "There were no casualties," Volgograd Governor Andrey Bocharov stated in a post on social media.

According to Namibia Press Agency, debris from intercepted drones damaged a high-voltage power line, which disrupted electricity supply to the town of Ilovlya and nearby settlements. Emergency repair crews have been dispatched to restore power. In the town of Frolovo, a fire erupted at a technical building in the Archeda railway station. This incident prompted temporary train suspensions as explosive ordnance disposal teams worked to neutralize an unexploded drone that had landed on the tracks.

Six trains, including Moscow- and St. Petersburg-bound long-distance services, were delayed due to the incident, as confirmed by Russian Railways' Privolzhskaya branch.
