A series of overnight drone attacks across multiple regions in Russia have caused significant disruptions and damage. On May 9, a Ukrainian-launched drone attack halted operations at an oil plant in Bashkortostan by stopping its catalytic cracker. Concurrently, another drone strike in Volgograd targeted one of Russia's largest refineries, sparking a fire, as reported by the regional governor. This pattern of attacks continued over several days, affecting various infrastructures including an oil depot and a power substation in the Belgorod and Lipetsk regions. Ukrainian intelligence sources have been cited regarding these incidents, which have escalated tensions in the region. The Russian governor claimed that a total of 31 drones were shot down, including four over Lipetsk Oblast.
