On the morning of March 22, 2025, in the Samara region, air defense forces neutralized an attempt to attack a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aimed at one of the industrial enterprises of the city of Chapayevsk. This was reported by the region's governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev in his official statement. According to him, the drone was successfully eliminated, which made it possible to avoid any damage or casualties on the territory of the facility. The head of the region did not disclose the specific name of the enterprise that became the target of the attack, limiting himself to a general mention of its industrial nature.

"Dear residents of the Samara region. Early this morning, the enemy attempted to attack one of the industrial enterprises in Chapayevsk. There were no damages or casualties. One UAV was eliminated. Remain vigilant and calm," - He wrote.

Specialists are already working at the scene of the incident, assessing the situation and ensuring safety.

The governor's message emphasizes the efficiency and effectiveness of the Russian air defense, which was able to promptly detect and destroy the threat. Fedorishchev noted that the situation is under control, and residents of the region can be calm about their safety. The incident in Chapayevsk was another episode in a series of attacks by Ukrainian drones on objects in the border and rear regions of Russia, which indicates the ongoing escalation of the conflict in the airspace.

Chapayevsk, located 40 kilometers from Samara, is known as an industrial center with a developed chemical and defense industry. It is this factor, according to experts, that could have made one of the local enterprises a target for attack. The city is historically associated with the production of explosives and military products, which makes it a potentially significant object in the context of military operations.
