On the night of December 12, a powerful explosion was heard in Grozny. Information was spread on the Internet about the arrival of a drone at the building of the second regiment of the Russian Interior Ministry police in the Chechen Republic. Later, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, admitted that it was the target of the attack.
It happened around 1 a.m., and a fire broke out. Local media also shared a video of the alleged impact.
It was reported that a UAV could have reached Grozny. Previously, there were several sounds of explosions.
Propaganda Telegram channels later stated that the situation was under control, there were no casualties or injuries. They said, “…only minor damage to the building was recorded, and the fire was extinguished.”
After some time, Ramzan Kadyrov wrote that a drone was allegedly shot down over the barracks buildings of the special police regiment named after the Hero of Russia A.A. Kadyrov of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic. According to him, no one was seriously injured, and four soldiers of the guard received minor injuries.
“The personnel on duty were at that time in premises protected from such attacks. The UAV, which detonated in the air, damaged the roof and broke out the windows. The fragments that fell caused a small fire, which was quickly extinguished. The building did not suffer any serious damage,” said Putin’s aide.
