The Taliban delegation had to fly from Moscow to Tatarstan to participate in the international economic forum "Russia - Islamic World: Kaznforum" in Kazan. However, the delegation's visit was delayed due to a drone strike in the morning.

The plane, carrying officials from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, was scheduled to fly from Moscow to Kazan at 08:45 local time, but was delayed due to the drone attack.

For more than an hour and a half, the skies of Kazan and Nizhnekamsk were closed due to the threat of an air attack.
