Ukrainian drones have struck an electrical substation in Russia’s Volgograd Oblast for the second time in two weeks, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict. The attack has drawn attention to the increasing reliance on drone technology in modern warfare, raising concerns about its impact on civilian infrastructure and energy systems.
Analysts suggest that the repeated strikes demonstrate Ukraine’s strategic focus on disrupting Russia’s energy grid, which is a critical component of its military operations. The damage to the substation could lead to power outages in the region, affecting both military and civilian populations. Russian authorities have not yet issued official statements regarding the incident, but similar strikes in the past have prompted strong condemnations and retaliatory measures.
