A Ukrainian drone targeted a campus belonging to Russia’s National Guard in the Russian region of Chechnya on Sunday, in response to a mass air attack from Moscow. The drone footage circulating on social media depicted the drone flying low over Grozny, the Chechen capital, before detonating. Fortunately, there were no reported casualties from the incident.
Confirming the strike, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov stated that the drone hit a site owned by the Akhmat Grozny riot police battalion. He also mentioned that two other drones were intercepted by air defenses. In retaliation, Kadyrov vowed revenge on Ukrainian forces and ordered a missile strike on military facilities in Kharkiv, although this claim remains unverified.
