Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen Republic, said on Wednesday that a Russian drone strike against the Ukrainian military’s UAV control center in Kyiv was retaliation for a Ukrainian attack earlier this week on a Chechen special forces training university in Gudermes. Kadyrov claimed that intercepted Ukrainian communications indicate that the Russian. strike killed nine and injured 17 people. He also shared a photograph circulating on Telegram purportedly showing damage to the Ukrainian General Staff building.
Ukrainian military officials have not commented on reports of a strike on its drone center in Kyiv.
Following the October 29 attack on the Chechen special forces training university, Kadyrov claimed that multiple Ukrainian POWs were killed in the drone strikes. “Up to 10 Ukrainian prisoners are held at each strategic facility in [Chechnya], including on the university’s grounds. In trying to harm us, Kyiv has ended up killing its own soldiers,” Kadyrov wrote, promising “harsh retaliation.”
