Russian Defense Ministry Announces Downing of 20 Ukrainian Drones In Crimea, Civilian Killed in Russian Shelling
Ukrainian Drone Intercepted on its Way to Crimea – One Casualty Reported
(Seoul = News 1) – In a recent development, the Russian Defense Ministry declared that it had successfully shot down 20 Ukrainian military drones that aimed to enter Crimea. According to the ministry’s statement on Telegram, 14 of these unmanned aerial vehicles were downed by their air defense networks, while 6 others were intercepted using radio jamming techniques. Fortunately, no casualties were reported as a result of these operations.
Officials in Crimea confirmed that this attack temporarily disrupted traffic flow on the bridge that connects Russia’s Krasnodar to the peninsula. The Ukrainian military’s relentless use of drones to penetrate Russian territory comes amidst a slow-moving counter-offensive. In a series of events, two drones were destroyed as they approached Moscow on the 10th, while 11 others were shot down near the Black Sea naval base.
In a separate incident on the 5th, a Ukrainian maritime drone struck a Russian oil tanker and a landing ship at a naval base in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. July also witnessed Ukrainian drone attacks on the Crimean Peninsula, resulting in the destruction of an ammunition depot and damaging the Crimean Bridge that links the peninsula to mainland Russia.
As a response, Russia retaliated by shelling a village in the eastern Kharkiv region. Unfortunately, one civilian woman lost her life in this attack, as confirmed by Ukrainian authorities.
It is clear that tensions between Russia and Ukraine persist, as the conflict shows no signs of abating. Both sides continue to engage in military actions, with drones playing a crucial role on the frontlines. The situation remains volatile, and the international community watches anxiously for any breakthroughs in diplomatic negotiations.
