Ukrainian drone strike on Chechnya sparks Kadyrov's fury
Ukrainian drones attacked the special regiment barracks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. Ramzan Kadyrov has reacted to these events by announcing plans for retaliation.
On Thursday, media reports emerged about a Ukrainian drone attack on the special regiment barracks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Grozny, Chechnya's capital.
Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of this republic, which is part of the Russian Federation, reported on Telegram that a drone was shot down over the barracks, causing damage to the buildings. However, no one was seriously injured. Four guards sustained minor injuries, he informed.
Kadyrov suggested that the Ukrainian command might exaggerate the outcomes of this operation when reporting to their Western allies, implying that the sole intent of the effort was to create an illusion of success.
Ramzan Kadyrov announces retaliation
The attacked barracks are home to the special police regiment named after the Hero of Russia, Akhmat Kadyrov, Ramzan's father and former president of Chechnya. Ramzan Kadyrov emphasized that such actions only strengthened his forces' fighting spirit.
Kadyrov stated that 84,000 volunteers and fighters from the Chechen Republic were prepared to deploy to the front lines immediately upon command. He emphasized that no individuals he described as addicts, devils, or satanists would be permitted to carry out their plans in the region. In response to the injury of four individuals, he vowed to retaliate by targeting 400 "Ukrainian-NATO soldiers."
Ukrainian authorities have not claimed responsibility for the attack. Still, Andrij Kovalenko, head of the Disinformation Counteraction Center at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, commented on the situation. "Grozny, Russian Federation. "Blow of humiliation," he wrote on Telegram, posting a video of the explosion.
The first drone attack on Chechnya occurred on October 29, when the Russian University of Special Forces, named after Vladimir Putin in Gudermes, was targeted. At that time, Kadyrov also threatened Ukrainian forces with "retaliation beyond their wildest dreams."
