Chechnya's Ramzan Kadyrov Taunts Ukraine After Attack on Russian Special Forces University

Russian Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has taunted Ukraine after a deadly drone attack on a Russian military university.

The attack, which took place on Monday, killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more. It was the first known drone attack on a Russian target inside Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine.

Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, took to social media to mock Ukraine and its Western allies after the attack.

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine have attacked a military university in Gudermes," Kadyrov wrote on Telegram. "They have killed and wounded our brothers. We will not forget this." He added: "The West is responsible for this attack. They are supplying Ukraine with weapons and training its soldiers. They are the ones who are killing our people."

The attack on the Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes was the latest in a series of setbacks for Russia in the war in Ukraine. In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces have launched a series of successful counteroffensives, retaking territory in the east and south of the country.

The attack is likely to further strain relations between Russia and Ukraine. It could also lead to an escalation of the conflict, as Russia seeks to retaliate for the attack.

Here is a summary of the key points:

• A Russian military university in Gudermes was attacked by a drone on Monday.
• The attack killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more.
• Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has taunted Ukraine and the West after the attack.
• The attack is likely to further strain relations between Russia and Ukraine.
