Ukraine has apparently attacked a target in the Russian Caucasus republic of Chechnya for the first time: The "Russian University for Special Forces" was reportedly hit by a drone. Leader Ramzan Kadyrov confirmed the attack.

Pictures on social media show a roof of the facility in the city of Gudermes burning brightly. Kadyrov claimed that the building had been empty. According to the Chechen ruler, there were no casualties or major damage. The flames were extinguished.

University was named after Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the facility as recently as August. Kadyrov presented the facility as a multifunctional complex that combines modern methods and techniques of the special forces. The Kremlin reported on its website that Putin had visited the training complex, "observed classes and spoke with special forces commanders, instructors and volunteers undergoing training there." The university was also named after Putin.

Kadyrov fighters currently stationed in Kursk
Soldiers from Chechnya are fighting in the war against Ukraine. Kadyrov is providing the Russian army with a volunteer unit. This unit played a key role in the conquest of Mariupol in 2022. Chechen fighters are now said to be stationed in the Kursk region to fight the Ukrainian counterattack there.
