The Russian authorities have banned this Thursday the use of drones in the province of Leningrad, in the northwest of the country, after the attack with drones registered on Wednesday on the Kremlin, in Moscow.
The governor of the region, Alexander Drozdenko, has indicated in a message broadcast through Telegram, where he has assured that there will be exceptions “in order to guarantee the security of infrastructure facilities.”
Thus, he has pointed out that these exceptions will allow monitoring and supervising transmission lines, energy and water supply, sanitary facilities or the detection of possible fires, among other issues.
However, now a special permit will be required to be able to deploy drones in these specific cases. Drozdenko has promised that the workers of the Ministry of Interior and the Russian National Guard will have “electronic equipment to remove drones that they consider suspicious without the need for prior permits.”
Previously, the authorities of the city of Peskov also restricted the use of drones from this Friday, a similar measure adopted in the Moscow region, where Russian forces shot down two drones in the vicinity of the headquarters of the Presidency. The objective, according to the Government, was to end the life of the president, Vladimir Putin, in the middle of the invasion of Ukraine.
