Multiple Russian Regions Lift Drone Alerts After Overnight Wave of Warnings

The alerts prompted air-defense responses, short-lived restrictions, then all-clears in several regions.

Overview

  • - Authorities in Voronezh, Kursk, Tula, Penza and Ivanovo warned of an immediate drone threat, with a localized alarm in the Rossoshansky district and regional air defenses reported active.
  • - By early Nov. 17, officials announced cancellations of aerial or drone danger in Kursk, Tula, Ivanovo and Lipetsk, signaling a broad wind-down of the alerts.
  • - Belgorod’s governor reported two civilians injured and damage to vehicles, buildings and commercial sites after FPV drone strikes in several districts.
  • - Ulyanovsk’s governor said an attempted strike on a substation in Veshkaimsky district was repelled, with no casualties and power supply operating normally.
  • - Penza imposed temporary mobile internet limits during its drone-alert period before lifting the regime and plan “Kover,” as separate service disruptions included a Rostelecom fixed-line outage across four regions that analysts said showed traffic-filtering behavior, and Rosaviatsia briefly restricted flights at Saratov’s Gagarin airport for safety.
