In the capital of Chechnya, the city of Grozny, an explosion occurred in the building of the "Grozny-City" complex. The probable cause of the incident was a strike by a drone (UAV). This information was released by the opposition Chechen media "Dozhd," citing the NIYSO project and the information agency "Astra."
According to sources, the explosion destroyed the facade of several floors of the skyscraper, particularly in the area of the 28th floor. The "Grozny-City" building houses important government institutions, such as the Chechen Security Council, the Audit Chamber, and the regional election committee.
At the time of the attack, there were no official comments from Chechen authorities. However, residents are discussing possible connections between the explosion and new threats of drone attacks in the region. Last winter, amid the escalation of the conflict, Ukrainian drones reached Chechnya, leading to repeated explosions, including recent incidents in military and industrial zones.
Context of the Situation
This explosion occurred against the backdrop of air traffic restrictions imposed by the Russian authorities at Grozny airports due to threats of UAV attacks. As reported by Rosaviatsiya, the decision was made to ensure flight safety.
In light of these events, media outlets are also reporting possible disruptions to mobile internet in Chechnya. Experts note that the situation may escalate if the threats from drones continue to grow.
Monitoring of the situation is ongoing, and residents of Grozny have been urged to adhere to safety regulations.
