Three drones shot down in Stavropol Krai

Three drones were successfully shot down over Stavropol Krai, according to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense. The attack was presumably aimed at the industrial zone of Nevinnomyssk.

Regional Governor Vladimir Vladimirov confirmed that the drones were destroyed near the city. Mayor Mikhail Minenkov took precautionary measures: entry to the industrial zone was closed, and schoolchildren were transferred to online learning.

"Our air defense forces are repelling an attack by enemy drones targeting the industrial zone of Nevinnomyssk. There have been downings in the city's outskirts. Do not approach the UAV wreckage," Vladimirov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Furthermore, residents have been warned against distributing materials related to air defense operations, UAV flights, and their wreckage, as doing so will result in fines.
