Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha said Ukrainian drones struck the regional capital and several other districts overnight on October 9, injuring nine people; five were hospitalized. Tver Region Governor Vitaly Korolev said a separate drone strike caused a fire at a plant in Redkino, which was extinguished without injuries to employees.
Ukrainian drone strikes injured nine people in Kaluga, including five who were hospitalized, and caused a fire at a plant in the Tver region overnight on October 9, according to the regions’ governors. The two reports describe damage in separate areas; Tver Governor Vitaly Korolev said no plant employees were injured and the fire was extinguished.
Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha said drones struck the city of Kaluga and several municipal districts overnight. He reported nine injuries in the regional capital, with five people taken to hospital. His statement, as reported by Meduza, did not give details about the injured people’s conditions or specify the damage caused by the strikes.
In Tver region, Governor Vitaly Korolev said a drone strike caused a fire at a plant in Redkino, a village in Konakovo district. Korolev said the blaze had been extinguished and that plant employees were not injured. Ukrainian monitoring projects and the independent Telegram channel Astra identified the site as the Redkino experimental plant, which produces chemical products; that identification was not attributed to the regional governor in the report.
The available account does not establish whether the strikes in Kaluga and Tver were part of a coordinated operation, or provide details about the drones, the extent of damage, or any military response. The reported injury and fire details come from the respective regional governors, while the plant’s identification comes from the monitoring projects and Astra cited by Meduza.
Civilian Injuries and Plant Fire
The reported nine injuries in Kaluga make the strikes a direct public-safety event, while the separate fire in Redkino raises questions about damage to a site identified by independent sources as a chemical-products plant. Korolev’s account says the fire was extinguished and employees were unharmed, but the report does not establish whether the plant’s operations or surrounding area were affected.
The events also underline the geographic reach of reported drone attacks inside Russia: the governors described incidents in two regions, with different immediate consequences. For residents, the central confirmed concern in the account is the number of people injured in Kaluga. For the Redkino site, the immediate reported hazard was a fire that officials said had been put out.

Two Regions, Separate Reports
The incidents were reported by the governors of Kaluga and Tver regions, which are separate administrative areas in western Russia. Shapsha’s statement covered Kaluga city and several municipal districts; the injury count he gave was for the regional capital. Korolev’s statement concerned a plant in Redkino, in Tver region’s Konakovo district.
The account provided by Meduza does not describe earlier strikes, identify the intended targets, or give details about the broader military situation. It attributes the claim that the Redkino site was the experimental plant producing chemical products to Ukrainian monitoring projects and Astra. That distinction matters: the governors reported the strike and fire, while those other sources identified the facility.
“Nine people were injured in the regional capital, five of whom were hospitalized.”
— Vladislav Shapsha, governor of Kaluga region, as reported by Meduza
Damage and Strike Details
The report does not say how seriously the five hospitalized people were injured, whether anyone else received treatment, or what damage the strikes caused in Kaluga. It also provides no independent assessment of the incidents or details about the number and type of drones involved.
For Redkino, the governor said the fire was extinguished, but the account gives no information about its size, cause beyond the reported strike, or effects on the plant and nearby area. The identification of the facility as the Redkino experimental plant comes from monitoring projects and Astra, not from a statement by Korolev cited in the report. It is also unclear whether the Kaluga and Tver incidents were connected.
Further Official Damage Updates
Further updates from regional authorities could clarify the condition of those injured, damage in Kaluga’s city and municipal districts, and the consequences of the fire at Redkino. The report does not provide a timetable for additional statements or say whether investigators have released findings.
Until more information is available, the confirmed account remains limited to the governors’ reports: nine people injured in Kaluga, with five hospitalized, and a fire at a Tver-region plant that officials said was extinguished without employee injuries.
