The air raid alert in Zheleznogorsk, located in the Kursk region, was lifted as official sources indicated the missile threat had been neutralized. Reports tracked through a regional government channel confirm that the alert had ceased and residents could return to their normal activities in a controlled manner.
At approximately 10:40 Moscow time, the public warning system activated, prompting residents to seek shelter in rooms without windows. People advised to leave open areas for the safety of nearby buildings, parking lots, or underground routes were given clear guidance on where to move. Officials also noted additional concerns about possible missile threats in nearby Sudzhansky district, prompting parallel precautions across the area.
In tandem with the ground alerts, drone activity was reported across the region. According to regional officials, one drone was intercepted, and a fire erupted at a fuel depot within the Zheleznogorsk vicinity. Another unmanned aerial vehicle targeted the fuel and lubricant depot at the Mikhailovsky GOK, also in the Zheleznogorsk region. In both incidents, no casualties were reported, and emergency responders proceeded to contain the fires and assess any structural damage. A subsequent aerial strike on air defense stands was described as a hit, with defense systems responding accordingly.
Earlier, in Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region, the missile distress signal was canceled, signaling a return to normal conditions for residents and local services after a period of heightened alert. Local authorities continued monitoring the situation and prepared to communicate any new developments to the public via official channels.
