Kyrgyzstan issued an official warning to its citizens living in Russia, urging them to be cautious due to drone attacks on logistics facilities in various regions of the country. In a statement, the Foreign Ministry advised Kyrgyz citizens to take heightened security measures following reports of ongoing drone strikes in certain areas of Russia.
The ministry urged citizens to follow warnings from local authorities and, if necessary, seek consular or legal assistance from the Kyrgyz Embassy in Moscow. The statement said one person was killed and many were injured in attacks on Wildberries logistics centers in Krasnodar and Stavropol regions on Wednesday night, but no Kyrgyz citizens were among the victims.
Over the weekend, more than 70 people were injured in similar attacks in Moscow and Tambov regions. Two Kyrgyz citizens were among the wounded. A Tajik citizen died in the Moscow region attack, while seven people were killed in Tambov.
Millions of Central Asian migrant workers live in Russia, and the remittances they send provide vital economic support for countries like Kyrgyzstan.
