Ukrainian forces could soon expand the geography of their drone attacks, potentially targeting northwestern regions of Russia. The Telegram channel Arkhangel Spetsnaza (AS) warned of the possible shift after analyzing a series of recent Ukrainian UAV strikes.

The channel’s authors pointed out that Russia’s Volga region has come under drone attacks for two consecutive days. In the Samara Region, a fire broke out at a linear production and dispatch station following the reported strikes.

Ukrainian drones have also reportedly targeted facilities in Lugansk and Donetsk. In Lugansk, the attack was directed at a telephone company’s building. In Donetsk, an electrical substation may have been hit, according to the channel’s assessment of reports about power outages.

The analysts also highlighted reports that several Ukrainian UAVs had been shot down over the Pskov Region, a detail they considered significant when assessing possible changes in the direction of future attacks.

Taking these incidents together, Arkhangel Spetsnaza suggested that northwestern Russia could become the next target of Ukrainian drone operations.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported that air defense systems had intercepted and destroyed 212 Ukrainian drones overnight on November 2.

According to the ministry, the UAVs were downed over 17 Russian regions, as well as the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

The reported attacks across the Volga region, combined with drone interceptions over Pskov, formed the basis of the channel’s warning about a possible expansion of Ukrainian strikes toward Russia’s northwest.
