Russia's Leningrad Region becomes 'frontline' vs NATO
Leningrad Region Governor Alexander Drozdenko has declared his region a 'frontline' territory due to its extensive border with NATO countries and the frequency of drone attacks. He stated that urgent measures are being taken to strengthen air defense, including building towers and erecting strongholds and fortifications for border guards. Drozdenko emphasized that the goal of the UAV attacks was to target economic facilities and the port, as well as to sow panic and cause social tension. He previously advised residents to be prepared for potential disruptions.
The governor specifically warned residents against using third-party 'Radar' apps for drone tracking and detailed the region's selective alert policy.
The governor provided new details on the defensive measures, specifying the construction of towers and fortifications, and clarified the alleged intent behind the drone attacks.
