The Russian city of Kazan in Tatarstan was struck by eight drones on Saturday, including one that targeted an industrial facility and six aimed at residential buildings. According to the office of Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, no casualties have been reported so far.
 
The statement read, "According to the latest information reported from the field to Tatarstan head Rustam Minnikhanov, there have been eight drone strikes so far, including one targeting an industrial facility, one [intercepted] above the river, and six in a residential area. As far as we know at the moment, nobody was killed or injured. Workers at industrial facilities have been evacuated and sheltered."

The office clarified that the drone targeting the industrial facility failed to strike it.
 
On Saturday morning, temporary restrictions were imposed at Kazan's airport for security reasons, according to the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya), which specified that both departures and arrivals were suspended.
 
The airport in Izhevsk, located in the neighboring Udmurtia region, also suspended arrivals and departures for safety reasons following the drone attack in Kazan, regional head Alexander Brechalov stated on Telegram.

Temporary flight restrictions were also briefly imposed at Saratov's airport but have since been lifted, according to Rosaviatsiya.

In a related context, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Thursday that Ukraine fired six US-manufactured ATACMS missiles and four British-made Storm Shadow missiles at Russia's southern Rostov region. The statement issued by the Ministry revealed that all ATACMs were intercepted, while three out of the four Storm Shadow missiles were downed. Moscow intends to respond to the attack, it further added. 

President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia is prepared to launch more Oreshnik missiles, targeting "decision-making centers" in Kiev if Ukraine continues using US and British weapons to strike Russian territory.

Previously, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow expects its "signal" to the West, demonstrated through the use of its Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, to be "taken seriously".
