Drones reportedly hit strategic ammunitions producer in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast
A drone attack overnight on Nov. 14 was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense, with Russian media suggesting there had been an attack on a chemical plant in Bryansk Oblast.
Russian air defenses shot down four drones over Moscow, Tambov, Oryol, and Bryansk oblasts, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. However, no explosions were reported on social media.
The Russian authorities typically claim to shoot down or disable all incoming drones, though there is ample evidence that many of them reach their intended targets. Ukraine usually denies being behind the attacks, but drones of known Ukrainian design are regularly photographed and videoed in the skies over Russia.
The Russian Telegram news channel Baza wrote that in Bryansk Oblast, an "unexploded drone with an explosive substance" was found in the village of Seltso in a workshop of the 50th anniversary of the USSR Bryansk Chemical Plant, which is under construction.
"The roof of the shop was pierced in three places," the outlet claimed, without specifying the source of its report.
“Special services were called to the scene. There were no injuries as a result of the drone crash.”
This plant specializes in the production of industrial explosives, recycling and production of ammunition.
On Nov. 11, the Russians reported a drone attack on Kolomna, Moscow Oblast. The media wrote there had been damage to the buildings in the city of the Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, which produces Kinzhal aero-ballistic missiles, and Iskander ballistic and cruise missiles.
