At around 6 a.m., a missile alert was declared in Russia’s Chuvash Republic. Immediately afterward, local Telegram channels began reporting explosions in Cheboksary.
Local authorities later confirmed the missile attack.
According to posts by OSINT channels, the target of the unidentified missiles was the VNIIR-Progress plant.
