Taliban flight to Russia reportedly delayed by Ukrainian drone attack in Tatarstan — Meduza [1]

[]

Date: 2024-05-15  

Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency temporarily suspended all flights in and out of Tatarstan’s Kazan and Nizhnekamsk airports on Wednesday after a Ukrainian drone was reportedly shot down in the region.

According to the Telegram channel Baza, one flight affected by the delays contained a delegation of Taliban officials who were scheduled to take part in the KazanForum international economic conference that morning.

In April 2024, Tatarstan suffered a drone attack for the first time since the start of Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine. That attack hit a dormitory in the region’s Alabuga Special Economic Zone and an oil refinery in the city of Nizhnekamsk.
