Ukrainian drone strikes Kadyrov's special ops base in Chechnya causing explosion

A Ukrainian drone struck a special operations base in Grozny, Chechnya, linked to Ramzan Kadyrov, a key ally of Vladimir Putin. The attack caused a large explosion, marking the third strike on the city in 11 days. The drone, resembling a World War II aircraft, reportedly evaded defenses and hit the facility, which supports Russian troops in Ukraine. The extent of the damage and casualties is not yet known. Kadyrov, recently honored by Putin, has called for improved air defenses in Chechnya. An investigation revealed he has expanded his private army significantly since the war began, establishing nine new paramilitary units.
