The key facts

  • The drone danger regime is in effect in the Leningrad Region and eight districts of Krasnodar Krai
  • Residents were advised to shelter behind load-bearing walls and not to touch unfamiliar objects
  • Mobile internet speeds may be reduced in the Leningrad Region

The regime has been introduced in two regions

Regional branches of the Emergency Ministry declared a drone danger regime in the Leningrad Region and Krasnodar Krai, announcing this in their channels on Max (Gazeta.Ru). In Krasnodar Krai, the regime covered eight municipalities: the Abinsky, Kalininsky, Krasnoarmeysky, Krymsky, Seversky, Slavyansky, Temryuksky and Timashevsky districts.

What the authorities recommend

The Emergency Ministry branch in Krasnodar Krai advised residents to leave open spaces and take shelter indoors behind load-bearing walls. The agency also reminded people not to pick up unfamiliar objects from the ground — this is a standard precaution in case debris or unexploded drone components are found.

Internet restrictions and context

Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko said that mobile internet speeds may be reduced in the region — such restrictions usually accompany the drone danger regime, as they are linked to the operation of anti-drone defense systems. The governor's message itself was published on his channel.

Prior events

The declaration of the regime was preceded by a night of massive drone use: on the morning of November 7, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that air defense systems overnight intercepted and destroyed 411 Ukrainian drones over Russia. Earlier, a drone attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Oryol Region was reported. Sources do not confirm a direct link between these attacks and the introduction of the regime in the Leningrad Region and Krasnodar Krai — it remains an editorial comparison by timing.
