Explosion in the Grozny-City complex caused building damage

An explosion occurred in the Grozny-City business complex, resulting in damage to the building’s facade on several levels. Preliminary reports indicate that the blast wave destroyed glass panels and elements of external structures, causing localized collapses. Fire crews, rescue teams, and law enforcement officers quickly began work at the site, ensuring perimeter security and coordinating emergency operations. Authorities are clarifying the scale of the destruction and assessing possible consequences for nearby buildings.

Airports in the North Caucasus Federal District, including Grozny International Airport, were switched to the “Kover” protocol. This measure temporarily restricts airspace operations and allows emergency services to track potential threats. The protocol is applied in cases where there is a risk of repeated incidents or when enhanced control of regional flights is required.

According to information circulated by local sources, one of the scenarios under investigation is an attack using an unmanned aerial vehicle. Official bodies have not yet confirmed this version but stated that investigators are examining all possible causes of the explosion. Specialists are inspecting debris and components found at the site to determine the nature of the external impact.

The situation has drawn the attention of regional authorities, who received rapid reports on the incident and on the security measures being taken. The leadership of the republic instructed relevant agencies to assess risks to transport infrastructure, business facilities, and residential areas located near the complex. Authorities noted that they continue to monitor developments and coordinate with federal structures on maintaining stability.

Residents of the area reported a loud sound heard at a considerable distance from the business center. Some eyewitnesses stated that they saw a cloud of smoke rising above the building after the explosion. Rescue teams are verifying information regarding possible casualties and inspecting the building’s interior.

Grozny-City remains one of the region’s largest business and tourist facilities, including hotels, offices, and tower complexes. The explosion caused temporary disruptions in the operations of nearby institutions and transportation routes. Specialists are currently assessing the structural stability of affected sections and determining the order of restoration work.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing. Initial expert findings are expected to be released after the analysis of collected materials and witness interviews is completed. Authorities stated that the public will be informed about the progress of the investigation and the security measures taken. The region is currently operating in an enhanced security mode, and emergency response services remain on-site until full stabilization.
