27 drones were shot down in three regions of the Southern Federal District.

Last night, the military shot down 21 drones in the Volgograd region, four in the Rostov region, and two in the Astrakhan region. In the Rostov region, debris from a downed drone fell on a construction site.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on the night of March 4, a drone attack injured five residents of a multi-story building in Volgograd. Three private homes were damaged in the Sredneakhtubinsky District of the Volgograd Region.

From 11:00 PM Moscow time on March 3 to 7:00 AM Moscow time on March 4, air defense systems on duty intercepted and destroyed 32 Ukrainian drones, including 21 in the Volgograd Region, four in the Rostov Region, and two in the Astrakhan Region. The remaining five drones were shot down in the Belgorod and Kursk regions, the Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel.

On the evening of March 3, between 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM Moscow time, the military shot down 34 UAVs in the Rostov region and one in the Volgograd region, according to another ministry statement.

Last evening and night, the Rostov region was attacked by dozens of drones, Governor Yuri Slyusar reported today.

No one was injured. But there were consequences on the ground.

"Several dozen UAVs were repelled in two districts - Millerovsky and Tarasovsky. No one was injured. But there were consequences on the ground - as a result of the UAV debris falling on the territory of a recreation center under construction, the glass and the entrance door of a non-residential building were partially damaged," he wrote.

Astrakhan Region Governor Igor Babushkin, as of 9:14 a.m. Moscow time, had not reported on the night attack or its consequences on his Telegram channel.

As a reminder, on December 15, 2025, 38 drones were shot down in the Astrakhan Region. They attacked "industrial and energy facilities," Igor Babushkin reported on his Telegram channel that day. He called it "one of the most massive attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Astrakhan Region."

In Volgograd, on the night of February 13, a woman and a teenager were injured in a drone attack. According to authorities, several private and apartment buildings were damaged. Windows in the damaged apartments have not been repaired even a week after the attack, and victims complained that it is difficult to reach dispatchers.

In the Rostov Region, there is a ban on filming aerial attacks and their aftermath, air defense operations, and military unit locations. The "Caucasian Knot" published a corresponding governor's decree.

In other regions of the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts, including the Astrakhan and Volgograd regions, filming drone attacks and their aftermath is also prohibited. These prohibitions contradict the Constitution, which guarantees the inadmissibility of censorship and the freedom to search for, record, and disseminate information, lawyers pointed out.
