A court in Vladimir, Russia, has fined Ivan Rostovtsev, the editor-in-chief of the local publication "Chesnok," a total of 90,000 rubles (approximately $980 USD) across three separate rulings. The fines were issued for publications detailing damage from drone attacks, which the court deemed to have revealed consequences of the attacks without explicitly mentioning the drones themselves. The court cited publications from July concerning damage to residential buildings as the basis for two of the fines.

The court found that the publications revealed the location of a drone's fall and information that could harm the region's security, despite not explicitly stating the cause of the damage. A third fine was imposed for a publication quoting the regional governor's statement about drone impact site work. The judge reportedly refused an expert examination to determine the cause of damage from a photograph.
