Makhachkala airport has temporarily stopped operations after a drone incident over Kaspiysk. According to information provided by the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, Russian air defense forces destroyed an unidentified drone flying over the city this morning. Preliminary data indicate that it could have been an A-22 Flying Fox drone, but official sources have not yet definitively confirmed the type of drone.

Following the attack, Makhachkala airport was forced to suspend flights for an indefinite period of time, which delayed several flights to Moscow and Perm. Airport management and local authorities say they are taking all necessary measures to restore air transport as quickly as possible, and passengers are receiving information and assistance on site.

Despite the lack of confirmed data on new incidents, reports of new explosions in the Kaspiysk area have begun to appear on social media and in a number of local sources. Officials have not yet confirmed these reports. The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, called on residents to remain calm and follow information only from verified sources, recalling that the publication of unconfirmed materials can contribute to disinformation and panic among the population.
