Summary

Drones attacked the Russian city of Voronezh on the night of October 25-26, 2026, with fires reported at multiple locations including the Voronezhsintezkauchuk petrochemical plant, which produces synthetic rubber and materials for military applications. Videos and witness footage showed black smoke rising over the plant. Ukrainian defense company Fire Point claimed responsibility using FP-1 deep-strike drones, though neither Ukrainian nor Russian officials have confirmed the attack. Russian officials reported 113 drones were destroyed over the wider Voronezh region, with over 70 downed above the city itself. The attack also caused fires at other sites including a business center, apartment buildings, a school stadium, and reportedly damaged an aircraft manufacturing facility and a bridge. Two people were killed and 17 injured, including a child, with additional injuries reported from a separate strike on a train at Somovo station. Governor Alexander Gusev acknowledged the fires but stated they occurred without significant consequences.
