On Friday, November 17, a drone attacked the Smolensk Aviation Plant. In the morning, explosions were heard there.

In the afternoon, the governor of the Smolensk region reported that the air defense of the aggressor country "shot down Ukrainian UAVs". According to him, this happened in the Zadneprovsky district and on the territory of the Smolensk district.
