A criminal case has been opened against a Rostov-on-Don resident who filmed drone attacks in the region. Three other people have been fined administratively for violating the ban.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on November 25, three people were injured in a drone attack in Taganrog and the village of Bessergenevskaya in the Rostov Region. Another wounded woman subsequently died in the hospital. Twenty residents of Taganrog applied for financial assistance due to the complete loss of property following a drone attack on November 25.

At an operational meeting held at the Rostov Region administration, participants discussed the publication of the consequences of the drone attack. According to Alexander Rechitsky, head of the regional department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, a criminal case has been opened against the administrator of one of the Rostov Telegram channels that published footage of drone attacks in the region, Donnews.ru reported on December 2.

The administrator is allegedly a resident of Rostov-on-Don. He filmed the drone attacks and posted the videos to the Telegram channel with his own commentary.

In total, five cases of attacks being recorded and subsequently posted online have reportedly been documented. Investigation materials for three more incidents have been sent to the regional government. Administrative reports have been filed against three individuals, and a magistrate court fined them three thousand rubles each.

Another offender filmed the air attack on Taganrog on November 25 and then published the video online. It has not yet been reported whether any sanctions have been imposed.

Rostov Region Governor Yuri Slyusar stated that filming drone attacks on the region is "unacceptable from a legal and moral standpoint."

A ban on filming air defense operations and the aftermath of drone attacks in the Rostov Region was introduced in August. Citizens face fines of three to five thousand rubles for violating this rule, and officials face fines of three to five thousand rubles, Kommersant reports.
