A resident of Saint Petersburg, Russia, was fined 4000 rubles for posting online a video showing the aftermath of a drone attack. According to Meduza, this is the first penalty of its kind, imposed by the magistrates.
Șahzodbek Tursunbayev made the images public in the afternoon of July 24th. The images showed what the Wildberries giant’s warehouses looked like after the incursion of Ukrainian drones.
The sequence was classified as a violation of an ordinance issued by the governor of Saint Petersburg, not to disclose such information. The fine is the first to be applied since January 2025, when the ban on making such images public was imposed.
And residents of other Russian regions have recently been detained for posting videos showing the aftermath of drone attacks. Similar situations have been reported in Volgograd and Krasnodar.
