Russia has issued a sharp warning to Ukraine after an explosion and fire damaged a skyscraper in Grozny, an incident local authorities have linked to an alleged drone strike. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov condemned the attack and vowed a forceful response, calling it a provocation aimed at creating panic rather than achieving military gains. The targeted tower reportedly houses government offices and lies close to Kadyrov’s residence. The strike was the third such incident in Chechnya this week and came amid broader reports of Ukrainian drone activity across several Russian regions, highlighting rising cross-border tensions and expanded risks to critical infrastructure.
