In the early morning of December 15, 2024, multiple Ukrainian drones targeted a base of the OMON special forces in Grozny, Chechnya. Reports indicate that at least two drone strikes occurred, with local sources confirming four explosions in the area. The attacks appear to be part of a series of strikes against forces loyal to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Although Kadyrov acknowledged the drone strike, he did not provide details on casualties or damage. This incident marks the fourth drone strike by Ukraine against Kadyrov's regime in recent months, highlighting the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russian-affiliated forces in the region. The Chechen capital, Grozny, is approximately 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine, suggesting an expanding operational range for Ukrainian drones.
