On Thursday morning, Chechnya was the target of a drone attack in the Grozny district, affecting an important government building that houses offices of the Security Council, the Ombudsman, and other institutions. The attack caused significant damage, prompting local authorities to temporarily suspend operations at airports in the North Caucasus to assess the security situation. This is the second drone attack in just a week, after drones previously struck FSB and police facilities in the region. Although no casualties have been reported, investigations are underway to determine the extent of the damage. The Russian aviation authority has imposed temporary restrictions on flights at the airports in Grozny, Vladikavkaz, and Magas as a precautionary measure. Recent attacks suggest an escalation of military activities in the area, with Ukrainian drones targeting strategic objectives in Chechnya.
