Drone retaliation: Russian base hit after Sumy attack
The Russian base in the city of Shuya, located in the Ivanovo region, was attacked by drones, according to local media reports. The target was the base of the Russian 112th Guards Rocket Brigade, from which Ukrainian Sumy had previously been attacked.
According to residents, at least five powerful explosions and the sounds of gunfire were heard in the city during the middle of the night.
The Shuya city administration reported a threat of drone attacks. Authorities urged city residents to stay indoors, avoid windows, and, if possible, move to the lower floors of buildings.
The target of the drone attack was the base of the Russian 112th Guards Rocket Brigade, responsible for attacking Ukrainian Sumy on April 13. Media reports suggest the attack was in retaliation for the Russians' bloody shelling, but the Ukrainian armed forces have not yet commented on the drone strike in the Ivanovo region.
