"As a result of falling debris in the southern part of Volgograd, windows were knocked out and the roof of an outbuilding was damaged in a private home. According to preliminary information, there are no fires, destruction or casualties," his words are quoted in a publication on the regional administration's Telegram channel.

25 drones neutralized at night in two regions of the Southern Federal District
From 23:00 Moscow time on September 12 to 06:00, 42 Ukrainian drones were intercepted and destroyed, including 15 in the Rostov Region and 10 in Volgograd, the Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel.
According to the report, the remaining drones were neutralized in the Belgorod, Kaluga, Kursk, Smolensk regions and in Crimea.
The restrictions have been lifted at the Volgograd airport, Artem Korenyako reported on his Telegram channel at 08:14 Moscow time. "The restrictions were introduced to ensure flight safety. During the period of restrictions, one plane "departed" to an alternate airfield," he wrote.
Discussions about renaming the Volgograd airport to "Stalingrad" have been actively ongoing since the 1990s. However, the airport was renamed from "Gumrak" to "Stalingrad" only after Putin's intervention - on April 29, 2025, he declared his support for the initiative of veterans and participants of the SVO, signing a decree on renaming on the same day. At the same time, some citizens spoke out sharply against the renaming, recalling the Stalinist era, during which 250 thousand Stalingrad residents were repressed.
Recall that on the night of September 4, restrictions were also introduced on the operation of the Volgograd airport. That morning, the Ministry of Defense reported that six drones had been shot down in the Volgograd region.
In Rostov-on-Don on September 2, during a UAV attack, the upper floors of two apartment buildings were damaged. An unexploded shell was found in one of the multi-story buildings, and 320 residents were evacuated to a temporary accommodation center. After sappers removed the unexploded shell from the building, the residents returned to their apartments.
