In late October, a fire broke out at the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Combine following a reported drone attack in the Russian city of Lipetsk. According to monitoring sources, the city was allegedly targeted by jet-powered drones, with local air defense operations purportedly contributing to the fires around the industrial complex.

Reports indicate that footage shared by witnesses allegedly shows Pantsir anti-aircraft systems firing at targets, though these claims and the extent of the damage remain unverified by independent sources. Furthermore, preliminary information suggested potential strikes and fires near a military airfield in Lipetsk, with the precise scale of the impact still undisclosed.

Concurrently, allegations emerged regarding an attack on the Azot chemical plant in Novomoskovsk, Tula Region, resulting in a reported fire. Ukrainian intelligence sources claim the enterprise supplies nitric acid to explosive manufacturing facilities, though specific details regarding the incident are scarce.

This follows a recent strike on an industrial facility in Yelets, Lipetsk Region, identified by open-source analysts as the Energiya plant, which manufactures power supply components for weapons systems. While the Kyiv regime claimed responsibility and success in targeting the facility, official commentary remains limited.
