Enemy launches attack on Salsk train station
In a series of unexpected events, multiple regions in Russia have been targeted by drone attacks, with one of the most significant incidents occurring in Kingisepp, a town located just 20 km from the Estonian border.
The attack in the Orlovsky district of Kingisepp resulted in damage to an electrical substation. Six people and two units of equipment are currently engaged in extinguishing the resulting fire. Despite the proximity to NATO territory and ongoing military activities, there is no direct evidence or indication that NATO airspace was potentially used in this attack.
Simultaneously, Salsk in Rostov was also hit by enemy drones, causing a fire at the local railway station. Passenger trains were swiftly moved to a safe distance to ensure public safety. The fire was later extinguished using a special train.
The enemy also targeted the cities of Bokovsky and Tarasovsky districts, as well as Volgodonsk and Kamensk-Shakhtinsky districts. These attacks occurred during the night hours, causing widespread disruption in multiple regions of Russia, including Rostov, Leningrad, Tula, and others.
There is a possibility that the port of Ust-Luga, near Kingisepp, was a target of the attack. However, no casualties or injuries have been reported as a result of these attacks, including in the Salsk region of Rostov.
It is worth noting that Russia has deployed electronic warfare systems near Kingisepp, close to Estonia’s border. These systems affect the regional electromagnetic environment and complicate navigation and signaling but do not imply NATO airspace was used by the attacking drones.
The Rostov Nuclear Power Plant, located a few kilometers from Volgodonsk, remains unaffected by these attacks.
The geopolitical context remains tense, with heightened tensions around the border with Estonia, a NATO member. As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial to maintain a clear and factual understanding of the events as they transpire.

The ramifications of these conflicts extend to several areas, as seen in the disruptions caused in Rostov, Leningrad, Tula, and other regions. Despite ongoing military activities and the deployment of electronic warfare systems, there is no direct evidence indicating that NATO airspace was potentially used in these attacks.
