On December 21, local Russian authorities announced a drone attack on the city of Kazan in Tatarstan. The Russian side reported eight “arrivals” of UAVs, among them one was at an industrial enterprise, six at a residential area.
Before that, drones flew to Tatarstan five times. In early April, UAVs attacked the territory of Tatarstan for the first time since the start of the Russian war in Ukraine. Drones then flew to the territory of Yelabuga and Nizhnyokamsk enterprises.
After the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, combat drones regularly fly into Russian regions, resulting in destruction and casualties. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that the attacks are being carried out from the Ukrainian side. For the most part, Kyiv does not comment on these messages.
