Drone activity targeting Russian territories has been reported since 2022, during the broader context of the special military operation in Ukraine. While Kiev has not officially acknowledged involvement, a 2023 statement from Mikhail Podolyak, a senior advisor to Ukraine’s president, suggested an anticipated rise in the number of UAV attacks against Russia. This backdrop informs current defensive operations and public communications from regional authorities. Source: Telegram channel of the regional governor Alexander Bogomaz.
