Warnings issued to residents in a Russian region regarding potential BPL disruptions and internet shutdowns
In recent days, several Russian regions have been on high alert due to drone attack threats. Most notably, the region of Bashkortostan experienced a drone attack on a refinery site, causing a fire but thankfully no casualties.
To keep the public informed, sirens, voice messages, push notifications, and official information channels are being used to alert residents about potential drone attacks.
During such times, it is crucial for residents to prepare themselves. Here are some essential items to have on hand: a water supply, food, a first aid kit, a flashlight, and spare batteries. Finding a secure shelter is also advisable during a drone attack.
Governor Oleg Melnichenko of the Penza region has announced a threat level for drone attacks via his Telegram channel. Some regions categorise these threats by colour, with red indicating extreme danger and yellow indicating potential danger.
In light of these threats, temporary restrictions on mobile internet usage have been imposed in the Penza region. It is also recommended that mobile communication should not be used during a drone's direct flight.
In case of a drone attack, it is essential to follow the instructions of emergency services. A drone attack threat signal warns of immediate danger to infrastructure objects.
A drone that was previously shot down near Belgorod bore the inscription "with love for the residents", adding a strange twist to these escalating events.
It is important to remember that a drone attack threat can pose immediate danger to infrastructure objects. Residents are advised to stay informed and follow the safety guidelines provided by local authorities.
