Chuvashia is under attack by Ukrainian UAVs.

Cheboksary, the capital of Russia's Chuvash Republic, has been attacked by drones again. At least one drone struck the enterprise "VNIIR-Progress", which is a manufacturer of jamming-proof navigation modules "Kometa".

This is evidenced by eyewitness footage analyzed by OSINT analyst Astra. The video was taken from "9th Pyatiletka" avenue in Cheboksary from a distance of about 1.3 km from "VNIIR-Progress".

The head of Chuvashia Oleg Nikolaev confirmed the repeated strikes on Cheboksary, but did not specify the locations of the hits. The regional Health Ministry said three people were injured in the overnight attack. Traffic was partially blocked in the city, schools and technical colleges were switched to distance learning.

On the night of May 5, a hit on the VNIIR-Progress plant was recorded in Cheboksary. Telegram channel "Exilenova+" suggested that the strike could have been carried out by Flamingo missiles.
