A drone attack was recorded in Dagestan.

A drone attack hit a Dagestan enterprise today.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," flight restrictions were imposed today at the airports of Vladikavkaz and Grozny. At 6:59 a.m. Moscow time, it was reported that similar restrictions had been imposed at the Makhachkala airport. The Ministry of Emergency Situations announced a threat of drone attack in Dagestan.

Dagestan's head Sergey Melikov reported the drone attack on his Telegram channel at 7:37 a.m. Moscow time.

"Today, enemy drones attacked in Dagestan. Their target was one of the republic's enterprises. There are currently no reports of casualties. Information about the damage is being clarified. Responsible services are on the scene, and all authorities are working in emergency mode. All necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety of citizens and facilities. A drone alert has been declared in the republic," the publication stated.

According to the anonymous Telegram channel Mash, an attack by two drones was recorded in Makhachkala. "One of them exploded over the territory of the enterprise, damaging vehicles with shrapnel. The second hit a shopping center under construction; there was no one inside," the statement reads.

As a reminder, on October 14, Melikov issued a decree banning media outlets and internet users from publishing information about the consequences of terrorist attacks and sabotage, the arrival of Ukrainian drones, and the deployment of military and "critically important" facilities (bridges, fuel and energy complex facilities, communications, and industrial facilities) in Dagestan.

Melikov's decree contradicts the law on mass media, and it does not provide a list of critical facilities, increasing the risk of arbitrary interpretation of the document by security forces, lawyers noted.

Similar bans are already in effect in other regions. Southern Russia – in the Astrakhan, Volgograd, and Rostov regions, Adygea, Kalmykia, and North Ossetia. On August 28, it was reported that in the Rostov region, two people were fined under administrative law for filming the aftermath of drone attacks.

Banning the filming of drone attacks and their aftermath, imposed by regional authorities, contradicts the Constitution, which guarantees the inadmissibility of censorship and the freedom of information, lawyers previously pointed out.
