Residents of the Omsk region were urged not to go outside due to UAV attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The first reports of a UAV threat in the area appeared around 12:40 Moscow time. The air defense forces repelled the attack throughout the day, and the danger is still there. Governor Vitaly Khotsenko urged local residents not to leave their buildings on the street. He noted that the emergency services are now working at the place where the UAV debris fell.
Among those waiting to strike are young Russian figure skaters. The athletes arrived in the Omsk region to participate in the sixth stage of the Russian Grand Prix "Heart of Siberia". The competition was supposed to take place between November 11 and 13, but due to the UAV attack they decided to postpone it for another day.
The skaters found shelter in the basement of the hotel and have been there for several hours. Figure skating coach Irina Zhuk said the youngsters are very nervous, but try not to panic. According to her, explosions are heard in the city.
