Explosions in Grozny and drone attack on Ingushetia

On the morning of December 25, explosions occurred in the capital of the Chechen Republic of Russia, the city of Grozny. Local residents report a drone attack.

According to 'Caucasus. Realities' (Radio Free Europe), four explosions were heard near the base of the 2nd Special Police Regiment named after Akhmat Kadyrov.

Andriy Kovalенко, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, posted a video on his Telegram:

At the same Time, Khamzat Kadyrov, secretary of the Security Council of Chechnya and nephew of the Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov, claims, citing the words of the commander of this unit, Zamid Chalaev, that all drones were shot down.

The drones also carried out an attack on Ingushetia. It is noted that one of them fell in the city of Malgobek but did not cause any damage or casualties.

A message from the Telegram channel Baza, close to Russian security forces, states that a 'Carpet' plan was announced at the airport of Grozny, meaning the airport was not accepting flights.

The press service of Grozny airport initially reported that a plane was redirected to Makhachkala due to fog, and from there to Aktau, Kazakhstan.

However, Rosaviation claims that the cause of the aviation accident was a bird strike. As a result, the commander of the aircraft decided to redirect the plane to a backup airfield in Aktau.

It should be reminded that a plane with Russians on board crashed in Kazakhstan.
