Shahed Drone That Struck Security Service Building May Have Been Guided by Repeater Within 5 Kilometers

Officials are examining whether a repeater positioned within five kilometers helped guide a Shahed drone that struck a Security Service building. The possibility suggests the aircraft may have received navigation support close to its target, rather than relying solely on preprogrammed coordinates. Investigators are reviewing communications data, flight paths, and surveillance footage to determine who operated the system and whether the strike exposed weaknesses in local air-defense procedures. Authorities have not confirmed the repeater’s location, operator, or role in the attack.
