On 2 March, an explosion went off in the Tula region’s Kireyevsky district. The authorities said it was possibly caused by a drone falling to the ground. It is still not clear if this is the officially considered reason.

On 28 February, Russia was attacked by the largest drone strike from Ukraine. One drone fell in the Moscow region near a Gazprom compressor station located around 100 km away from Moscow.

“This happened near the locality of Gubastovo. The drone likely targeted a civilian facility, but did not damage it. No victims either,” Governor Andrey Vorobyov wrote.

Approximately 200 sq. km. of airspace over St. Petersburg and its vicinity were closed off for air traffic on the same day over an unidentified object.
