Attack on Kazan. The Ukrainians used drones
The Baza channel on Telegram, which maintains close contacts with Russian security services, published an unverified video showing a flying object hitting a tall building, causing a huge fireball.
Local authorities reported no deaths or injuries. Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin has canceled all planned public events for the next two days. Restrictions were introduced on the operation of the local airport, which were later cancelled.
Zakharova: Kiev is directing its anger at the Russian people for its military defeats
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that “Kiev is taking out its anger over the tangible military defeats on the peaceful people of Russia.” She added that the attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, is also “a revenge for the successful BRICS summit in October 2024, which showed the strength and influence of this organization.”
Zakharova called Ukraine’s actions “a cynical attack as residential areas and exclusively civilian urban infrastructure were destroyed.” She stressed that “Russia once again calls on the international community to seriously assess the criminal actions of the Zelensky junta.”
The spokeswoman expressed her outrage at the “hypocritical silence of the West and its media on terrorist attacks in Russia.” As she argued, the Western media “respond immediately to any outbreak of extremism, and even more so to terrorist attacks in different parts of the world, but in the case of Russia they behave as if nothing is happening.”
