Russia Closes Airports in Seven Cities Following Drone Attacks

The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency has imposed flight restrictions at airports in seven cities after multiple drone attacks struck various regions overnight. Reports indicate that the attacks targeted industrial sites, causing fires and raising security concerns across Volgograd, Kaluga, and Rostov regions.

Authorities confirmed that flights were suspended in Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Grozny, Kaluga, and Saratov as a precautionary measure. In Volgograd, a drone strike led to a fire at an industrial facility. In Kaluga, drone debris fell within an industrial zone, while in Rostov, several districts, including the regional centre, were impacted. Although no casualties have been officially reported, the incidents have heightened tensions across the affected regions.

These attacks come just hours after multiple explosions were recorded in Volgograd and its surroundings, where Russian air defence systems were activated to intercept drones near an oil refinery. The repeated strikes on key infrastructure highlight vulnerabilities within Russian air defences and the growing impact of aerial threats.
