Temporary restrictions were introduced at the Russian airports of Kazan and Nizhnyokamsk in Tatarstan. The likely reason is the threat of a drone attack.

Points of attention

  • In Tatarstan, the operation of airports in Kazan and Nizhnekamsk has been suspended due to the threat of drone attacks.
  • On August 28, drones attacked an oil depot in the Rostov region, provoking a fire at the Atlas plant of the Rosreservoir of the Russian Federation.
  • News of drone attacks led to the evacuation of employees and the suspension of airport traffic in Tatarstan and the Rostov region.

In Tatarstan, the work of two airports was suspended due to the threat of UAVs

According to rosZMI, the Kazan airport has suspended its work due to the threat of a drone attack.

In particular, several departure and arrival flights were delayed. Planes heading to Kazan have been diverted to the reserve airfield in Samara.

It also became known that the second airport of Tatarstan — in Nizhekamsk — has been suspended. At both airports, the "Kilym" plan is in effect due to the threat of a UAV attack.

Airports do not receive or send flights. So far, about 20 flights have been delayed in Kazan. Meanwhile, employees of several Kazan enterprises were evacuated.

Drones attacked another oil depot in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation

In the Kamian district of the Rostov region, the "Atlas" plant of the Rosreservoir of the Russian Federation is on fire after a drone attack.

The oil base belongs to the Federal Agency for State Reserves and was directly used to supply the occupying army with fuel.

Locals also claim that drones attacked the Hlybokin oil depot in the Kamian district of the Rostov region.

The sounds of powerful explosions rang out over the region at approximately 02:45 am. Around this time, residents of Novoshakhtinsk, Aksay and the western part of Rostov heard the explosions.

Some time later, eyewitnesses of the event reported an explosion in a field in the area of an oil depot near Kamensk-Shakhtynsk. Other channels claim that several tanks are on fire.

Trump unintentionally dealt a blow to the Russian economy — what are the consequences?

What is happening to the Russian economy?

Despite the fact that US President Donald Trump did not impose tariffs against the aggressor country Russia, it still suffered from the American leader's decisions.

Points of attention

  • Not only did Trump's actions impact the Russian economy, but OPEC's plans to increase oil production are also expected to negatively affect the Russian stock market.
  • The decrease in capitalization of major Russian companies like Sberbank, Gazprom, Mechel, and Novatek highlights the vulnerability of the Russian economy to external factors.

What is happening to the Russian economy?

Analysts point out that Russian stock exchanges collapsed after the US president launched a global tariff war.

It is hard to ignore the fact that the capitalization of companies on the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) has decreased by $23.7 billion.

The MOEX Russia index, which tracks Russia's 43 largest public companies, has lost 8% over the past few days.

According to experts, this was the largest drop in the last 3 years.

In particular, the shares of such Russian giants as Sberbank (5.2%), Gazprom (4.9%), metallurgical and coal giant Mechel (7%) and gas company Novatek (5.4%) fell in price.

Analysts have predicted that the US tariffs will likely cause a global economic slowdown and a decline in oil demand and, consequently, oil prices. This will also have a negative impact on the aggressor country.

In addition to the indirect effect of Trump's global tariffs, the Russian stock market was affected by OPEC's plans to more than triple oil production in May.
