Ukrainian drones struck targets in Grozny early on May 8, according to reports from the region. The drones reached deep into Russian territory and hit the Central Grozny Railway Station, the Khankala Military Base and an FSB building in Znamenskoye.
Khankala is one of Russia's largest military installations. The strikes occurred one day before Russia observes Victory Day, a major annual commemoration. Russian officials have previously stated they would respond with severe retaliation if Ukraine targets sites linked to Victory Day parades.
The situation in the region remains under close observation as May 9 approaches.
The reported targets included both civilian infrastructure such as the central railway station and military sites. The FSB building in Znamenskoye was also listed among the locations struck. No immediate confirmation of damage or casualties at any of the sites has been issued by Russian authorities.
The strikes represent an extension of Ukrainian operations into areas previously considered far from the front lines.
