St. Petersburg court fines Russian for posting drone attack aftermath online
The resident was fined after posting footage of a Ukrainian drone strike, as Russian authorities keep tightening limits on sharing attack images.
- On Tuesday, Russian forces deployed AI-assisted Geran-4 drones to counter Ukrainian naval raids near the Kinburn Spit in the western Black Sea, targeting a flotilla operating from occupied territory.
- These strikes follow a months-long Ukrainian campaign where the Territorial Defense Forces landed gun-armed robots on the Kinburn Spit and used Swedish-donated CB-90 patrol boats to raid the strategic outpost in occupied Kherson Oblast.
- Geran-4s attacked Ukrainian vessels on August 12 and August 15, with the jet-propelled drones carrying warheads weighing as much as 90 kg—sufficient to sink the 15 m-long patrol boats or destroy them entirely.
- Concurrently, a St. Petersburg court fined a resident 4,000 rubles on Tuesday for posting video footage of a July 24 Wildberries warehouse strike, enforcing a ban on distributing attack imagery.
- This penalty reflects a broader campaign to restrict imagery of drone attacks on Russian facilities, exemplified by the August 16 strike that damaged a 250,000-square-meter Wildberries warehouse near Moscow.
