15 drones were shot down in three regions of the Southern Federal District.
The military shot down eight drones overnight in the Rostov Region, four in Kuban, and three in the Volgograd Region. Another four drones were destroyed over the Sea of Azov.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," drones were shot down last night in four districts of the Rostov Region: Chertkovsky, Sholokhovsky, Millerovsky, and Belokalitvinsky. There were no reports of casualties or damage, Governor Yuri Slyusar reported.
Last night, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 152 Ukrainian drones, the Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel.
According to the publication, eight drones were shot down in the Rostov region, four in the Krasnodar region, three in the Volgograd region, and four over the waters of the Sea of Azov.
The remaining drones were shot down in the Belgorod, Saratov, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, Tula, and Tver regions, as well as in Crimea and Tatarstan.
The Kuban operational headquarters and the Volgograd region administration, as of 9:55 a.m. Moscow time, had not reported any Telegram channels reported on the aftermath of the attacks.
As a reminder, on the night of February 13, a woman and a teenager were injured in a drone attack in Volgograd. According to authorities, several private and apartment buildings were damaged. Windows in damaged apartments haven't been repaired even a week after the attack, and it's difficult to reach dispatchers, victims complained.
Alerts about drone attack threats in the Volgograd region have become daily, but the actual appearance of UAVs is not always preceded by a warning, local residents previously interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" stated.
It should be noted that in September 2025, a ban was imposed in the Krasnodar region on the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as on filming air defense systems, military installations, and critical infrastructure. In December 2025, Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming aerial attacks and air defense operations. A corresponding regional legislative assembly bill was published on the "Caucasian Knot."
The Rostov Region also has a ban on filming aerial attacks and their aftermath, air defense operations, and military units. The "Caucasian Knot" published a corresponding governor's decree.
In August 2025, two people in the Rostov Region were fined for filming the aftermath of drone attacks.
In other regions of the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts, including the Volgograd Region, filming drone attacks and their aftermath is also prohibited. These prohibitions contradict the Constitution, which guarantees the inadmissibility of censorship and the freedom to search for, record, and disseminate information, lawyers pointed out.
