Earlier in the day, Tatarstan introduced an emergency situation regime (ES) for the authorities and special services after the drone attack on Kazan. It was specified that these measures are necessary for the rapid elimination of consequences, the special regime and the regional level of response do not apply to the residents of the republic.

On December 21, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that six AFU drones were destroyed over the territory of Kazan in the morning of that day. The head of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov called the attack an attack on civilians.

A total of eight drones were fired over the territory of Kazan. The press service of the city mayor's office reported that the attack resulted in fire in houses in the Sovetsky and Kirovsky districts. The arrival of UAVs in the residential complex "Azure Skies" was recorded on video.

The AFU is trying to strike Russian territories against the background of the special operation in Donbass, the beginning of which was announced on February 24, 2022. The decision was taken due to the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
