Russian Regions Trigger Drone Alerts as Some Measures Ease by Morning

Authorities reported a repelled strike on a Ulyanovsk power substation, with several oblasts lifting overnight warnings after activating air defenses and public alerts.

Overview

  • Regional governments across Voronezh, Kursk, Tula, Penza and other areas announced danger of UAV attack and activated warning systems, with air defenses reported at work.
  • By early Nov. 17, Kursk and Tula declared the drone threat over and Penza canceled both its 'Kover' plan and the 'drone danger' regime after several hours in force.
  • Ivanovo authorities said a drone-attack danger regime was introduced overnight, and Voronezh’s Rossoshansky district briefly sounded an immediate-strike alert.
  • Ulyanovsk’s governor said a drone attack on a substation in Veshkaymsky district was repelled without casualties and that power supply continued normally.
  • Telecom users in Yaroslavl, Vladimir, Ivanovo and Kostroma reported major fixed‑line outages that operators linked to trunk-line damage, while independent analysts described traffic behavior consistent with selective filtering; separate blasts were reported in Izmail and Kherson, and Russian units claimed counter‑drone and frontline successes in Zaporizhzhia.
