october 14: first reports of drones

Even before the official warning, residents of the region began discussing reports of monitoring channels about the alleged movement of drones. One of the first comments appeared around 23:00.

“As long as they are out (drones). In our direction can be in Orenburg / Samara / Perm. But until the danger is declared, relax after a working day. If it flies in our direction - there will be an advantage on the Volga to fly, the user wrote.

At that time, information about the direction of movement of air targets had no official confirmation.

23:15 - the first missile danger.

After 15 minutes in the Ulyanovsk region declared a missile danger. Residents were advised to leave open spaces, take shelter in rooms without windows, behind load-bearing walls, and not use elevators. Stay in safe places until the official break.

Soon there were reports of unusual sounds in the night sky. According to eyewitnesses, in some areas of the region were heard the hum of engines and loud clapping.

“A few strong claps were heard at night. At first, they thought something had happened on the street, but then they began to read reports about possible drones, a resident of the district center wrote.

Some users speculated that the sounds might be related to air defense work.

october 15: repeated alarms

00:35, first retreat. The first missile threat was canceled after 1 hour and 20 minutes. However, reports of an alleged drone attack continued to spread.

At the same time, official information on the number of detected or destroyed drones in the reports in question was not given.

06:30 - second missile threat.

Early in the morning, residents of the Ulyanovsk region again received a warning about the threat. The population was advised to remain in shelter until the alarm was lifted.

Amid repeated alerts in urban communities, the hearing of sirens was discussed. In particular, questions arose about how clearly warning signals were heard in the north of Ulyanovsk.

“In the north of the city the siren was heard very weakly. If it were not for the notification on the phone, I probably would not even understand that they declared an alarm, the Ulyanovsk resident wrote on social networks.

08:10, second retreat.

The morning alarm was canceled after 1 hour and 40 minutes. Thus, by this time, the total duration of the two warnings had reached three hours.

What is known about the alleged attacks

Throughout the night and the next day, reports of drones, loud bangs, flares and alleged air defenses appeared on social media and individual media.

However, the officially confirmed number of air targets, the results of possible intercepts and the specific locations of incidents in the submitted materials are not specified. There is also no verified information about injuries and damage to infrastructure.

It is important to keep in mind that three missile alerts do not mean three actual attacks. Warnings indicate a potential threat, while information about its implementation requires separate confirmation.

Thus, from the late evening of October 14 to the middle of the afternoon of October 15, the missile hazard regime was introduced three times in the Ulyanovsk region. Information about alleged drone attacks and explosion sounds remains unknown.
