On the night of April 18, 2025, a powerful fire broke out in the village of Razgulyaevka in the Volgograd region, causing serious concern among local residents and authorities. According to eyewitnesses, the fire was accompanied by bright flashes and loud bangs, which gave rise to rumors about a possible attack by unmanned aerial vehicles. There are no official comments from the regional authorities or the Russian Ministry of Defense at the time of publication, which only increases tension. The situation is especially alarming in the context of regular attacks by Ukrainian drones on facilities in the Volgograd region, including oil refineries and military airfields, which have been recorded since the beginning of 2024.
Razgulyayevka, located in the Gorodischensky district near Volgograd, has not previously featured in reports of drone attacks, but its proximity to strategic sites, including military and industrial ones, makes the region vulnerable. The lack of official information has fueled speculation on social media, with users linking the incident to the actions of the Ukrainian armed forces.
