Around twenty Russian Geran drones struck targets in Bolgrad, igniting a major fire and causing power outages, according to monitoring sources.

Russian forces delivered a powerful overnight strike on targets in Bolgrad, Odessa Region. According to the Telegram channel Voenkory Russkoy Vesny, which cites Ukrainian monitoring sources, roughly twenty Geran attack drones were directed at the city.

Footage circulating online shows a massive blaze lighting up the skyline, accompanied by secondary detonations and the distinct hum of drones overhead. Following the strike, the area reportedly experienced disruptions in electricity supply.

Bolgrad, which had not previously appeared in frontline reports, serves as the administrative center of the Bolgrad District in Odessa Region. The city lies just five kilometers from the Moldovan border.

Russian forces state that their precision strikes are a direct response to attacks by Kiev’s forces on civilian facilities inside Russia. Current targets include Ukrainian UAV assembly sites, defense-industry infrastructure, weapons depots, and locations where Ukrainian units are stationed.
