Air Safety Alert Issued on June 30 in Krasnodar Region
In the past few days, Krasnodar Krai has been the focus of heightened safety measures due to potential aviation threats, particularly drone and missile hazards. This follows an incident where a Ukrainian resident published a photo of a Russian drone named "Geran" with a smiley face on various social media platforms, sparking widespread discussion and concern.
The Krasnodar Krai Operational Headquarters has imposed new safety measures to ensure public safety. These measures encompass a combination of air defense, infrastructure security, and communication controls. The Russian National Guard (Rosgvardia) is reportedly strengthening security around critical infrastructure within Russian territory, including Krasnodar Krai, to protect against potential Ukrainian drone attacks. This includes arming security personnel with anti-drone small arms and enhancing surveillance and defense capabilities around key facilities.
In addition to these physical security measures, the Operational Headquarters has imposed restrictions on mobile internet operation in case of air threats. While the specifics of these restrictions in the context of Krasnodar Krai are not explicitly detailed, such measures are common in conflict zones to prevent the remote control of drones by disabling or limiting internet access. This effectively disrupts potential drone or cyber threats that rely on mobile networks for command and control.
Residents in Krasnodar Krai have received alerts from the Unified State System for Emergency Prevention and Response regarding the aviation hazard, which was declared on June 30. During emergencies, it is recommended to take shelter in enclosed spaces, avoid open spaces, and enter a building without windows. The "All Clear" command should be awaited before leaving the safe location.
It is important to note that the publication of the photo does not indicate any official statement or confirmation from the Russian Ministry of Defense. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing military activity in the region and the role of social media in disseminating information during times of conflict.
Once the threat is lifted, mobile operators restore internet access immediately. The emergency measures are put in place to reduce potential risks to the population and critical infrastructure objects. As always, it is crucial for residents to stay informed and follow the guidance of local authorities during such situations.
- The Russian National Guard (Rosgvardia) is fortifying industry-wide security, including transportation infrastructure and aviation facilities, within Krasnodar Krai, anticipating potential Ukrainian drone attacks.
- In the sphere of finance and general news, it's essential for residents to stay updated with the latest alerts from the Unified State System for Emergency Prevention and Response, as restrictions on mobile internet may be imposed in case of air threats.
- Crime and justice authorities should emphasize the importance of making unverified postings, like pictures of military equipment, such as the "Geran" drone, as such content can unnecessarily exacerbate public anxiety and lead to misinterpretations of the ongoing situation.
