The village of Sredny, in the Usolsky district, is returning to a sense of normalcy following a drone attack on a nearby military unit on the evening of June 1st. While the attack damaged military equipment, there were no civilian casualties.
Residents reported hearing explosions and seeing smoke, but life in the village has largely continued as usual. Many locals expressed a sense of calm, stating they were used to living near a military facility. Some residents admitted to initial fear and concern, while others said they saw neighbors leaving the village in haste after the attack.
The drone attack targeted a military airfield located a few kilometers from Sredny. The village, formerly a closed military town, is home to many who serve or have served in the military. While the streets were quiet the morning after the attack, residents reported a flurry of activity the previous evening, with some choosing to leave the area temporarily.
The federal highway near Sredny experienced significant traffic congestion following the attack, as authorities implemented stricter checks on vehicles. The highway was reopened nearly a day after the incident.
