Ukrainian drone strike in Chechnya: Kadyrov vows retribution
Ukrainian drones attacked the Ministry of Internal Affairs' special regiment barracks in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. Ramzan Kadyrov reacted to the events, announcing retaliation.
On Thursday, the media reported a Ukrainian drone attack on the special regiment barracks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Grozny, Chechnya's capital.
The leader of this republic, which is part of the Russian Federation, Ramzan Kadyrov, reported on Telegram that a drone was shot down over the barracks, causing damage to buildings, but no serious injuries occurred. "Four guards sustained minor injuries," he wrote.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the Ukrainian Nazi command loudly reported colossal results of this splendid special operation to their Western masters. This is the only meaning of such a pathetic action," Kadyrov stated.
Ramzan Kadyrov announced retaliation
In the attacked barracks, the special police regiment named after the Hero of Russia, Akhmat Kadyrov, father of Ramzan and former president of Chechnya, is stationed. Ramzan Kadyrov emphasized that such actions only strengthen the fighting spirit of his forces.
"A reserve of 84,000 volunteers and fighters from the Chechen Republic is ready to move to the front line at the first command. We do not protect our republic for any addicts, devils, or satanists to implement their sick ideas. We will not allow it! And for those four injured, we will take down 400 'Ukrainian-NATO soldiers'!" Kadyrov announced.
Ukrainian authorities have not claimed responsibility for the attack, but Andrij Kovalenko, head of the Disinformation Counteraction Centre at the National Security and Defence 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 29th, when the Russian University of Special Forces, named after Vladimir Putin in Gudermes, was attacked. At that time, Kadyrov also threatened Ukrainian forces with "retaliation beyond their wildest dreams."
