Russia's Rosaviatsia federal air transport agency announced temporary restrictions on flights at the Kazan International Airport and Begishevo Airport -- both in the Tatarstan region. Authorities in Tatarstan said drones targeted industrial facilities in the region, Russia's RBC news outlet reported. Officials said all drones were neutralized with no casualties or damage reported, though added that emergency responders were working at the scene, RBC said.
Kazan also operates an explosives factory manufacturing aerial munitions including Kalibr and Iskander missiles, Kovalenko said. "Not the first attacks, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to cover the skies of Russia," Kovalenko wrote on Telegram.
