Russia: Drone Attacks Target Rostov Region, Hit Military Logistics Hub

ROSTOV REGION, RUSSIA — Multiple drone strikes targeted the Rostov region of Russia on the night of August 5, with a primary focus on railway infrastructure used for military logistics.

The most significant strike hit the Tatsinskaya railway station, igniting a large fire. According to Petro Andryushchenko, head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, this was part of a coordinated effort to disrupt Russian military supply lines. The Russian news outlet ASTRA confirmed the location of the strike using geolocated footage, which showed the station’s distinctive red water tower and a nearby grain elevator.

In a separate incident, at least six drones were reported near the village of Kalinovka, where air defense systems were active. Some districts in the town of Millerovo experienced power outages, which local authorities attributed to a “technological failure” in a neighboring grid network. No casualties have been reported from the attacks so far.

This latest attack is part of a recent trend of drone strikes targeting Russian railway infrastructure. A similar attack on August 4 hit a key railway junction in the Volgograd region. Other recent incidents include damage to the Salsk station in Rostov on July 29, and a large-scale strike on July 23 that targeted multiple railway facilities in the region.
