A drone was shot down in the Astrakhan region.

The military shot down one drone in the Astrakhan region, which was the only region in southern Russia where a drone attack was recorded last night.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on the night of January 28, the military shot down 24 drones in the Krasnodar region, four in the Astrakhan region, and one each in the Rostov and Volgograd regions. Later that day, two more drones were shot down in the Astrakhan region and one in the Krasnodar region. Astrakhan Region Governor Igor Babushkin has not reported on the consequences of the attacks.

Last night, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 21 Ukrainian drones, including one in the Astrakhan Region, the Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel.

According to the publication, the remaining drones were shot down outside the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts: in the Belgorod, Voronezh, and Kaluga Regions.

As of 9:04 AM Moscow time, Governor Igor Babushkin had not reported on the air attack or its consequences on his Telegram channel.

As a reminder, on December 15, 2025, 38 drones were shot down in the Astrakhan Region. They attacked "industrial and energy facilities," Igor Babushkin reported that day on his Telegram channel. He called it "one of the most massive attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Astrakhan Region."

In the Astrakhan Region, as in other regions of the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts, filming drone attacks and their aftermath is prohibited. These prohibitions contradict the Constitution, which guarantees the inadmissibility of censorship and the freedom to search for, record, and disseminate information, lawyers pointed out.
