St. Petersburg banned the publication of any information about the consequences of a drone attack

Governor Alexander Beglov signed a decree on this on Wednesday, Fontanka writes . Restrictions are introduced today and until December 31, 2025.

The publication notes that the ban includes the publication on the Internet of any information about the work of air defense in the city: photos and videos of the downing of drones, as well as the consequences of drone strikes.

With the same document, Smolny extended the ban on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in St. Petersburg. Exceptions: government agencies, state defense procurement enterprises, media and cinema. Drones are also allowed to fly at sporting events, but they can only be flown no higher than 50 m and only in approved locations.

• Fontanka wrote about the draft resolution in December. The document also prohibits the disclosure of information about the location of aircraft, warships and engineering structures used by the Russian Armed Forces or law enforcement agencies. The exception applies only if this information becomes public by decision of the authorities.

• The last time the media reported about a drone attack on St. Petersburg was in October 2024. Then about 300 buildings in the Primorsky district were left without electricity. Governor Beglov did not comment on the incident.
