Six people were injured in a drone attack in the Ryazan region. Meanwhile, a nighttime drone strike resulted in fatalities in Taganrog, and security forces began mass arrests of protesting residents on Lake Baikal.
Drone attacks on the Ryazan region and Taganrog
Ryazan Region Governor Pavel Malkov reported a fire at "one of the enterprises" following an attack by Ukrainian drones. Popular Telegram channels, meanwhile, clarified that the target was a Wildberries logistics center in Ryazan. "Please do not visit the warehouse for now. We will inform you once operations are restored," the company's website officially confirmed. Furthermore, reports are coming in of a possible attack on a local oil refinery.
Meanwhile, several commercial businesses, private homes, and a high-rise residential building were damaged in the nighttime attack on Taganrog, according to Mayor Svetlana Kambulova. Unfortunately, a woman was killed and another man was injured. Residents of the damaged building were eventually evacuated, and authorities prepared a temporary shelter.
Arrests on Lake Baikal and in Moscow
Meanwhile, in the Irkutsk region, law enforcement officers detained 14 people after stopping a ferry crossing to Olkhon Island. The alleged organizer of the protest was charged with blocking public transportation, and 13 drivers were charged with administrative offenses by the traffic police. However, those detained and local residents call the incident a planned provocation.
Additionally, security forces in Moscow detained Daniil Neonov, a candidate for municipal deputy in the Shchukino district. The independent candidate is being held at a police station after refusing to unlock his phone without his family present. According to the activist, the authorities' interest was sparked by complaints from a State Duma deputy who expressed dissatisfaction with Neonov's appearance during a street signature drive.
Dismissals at Eksmo-AST due to censorship
Finally, the major publishing group Eksmo-AST lost some employees due to stricter internal censorship rules. The holding's president, Oleg Novikov, stated that following a series of criminal cases in the book publishing industry, the company revised its regulations: books are now reviewed according to ten criteria, including "propaganda" of LGBT people and drugs.
Some people couldn't work. We have employees who quit. We even fired some because they weren't ready.
