The Russian Ministry of Defense reported a recent incident in the airspace over the Crimean Peninsula, where about 32 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shot down. This event is one of the most significant attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in recent months. According to Western experts, the Ukrainian side is experiencing a shortage of resources for the production of drones, which makes the massive use of 32 drones in one attack especially significant.

There is no detailed information about the consequences of this attack. It was previously reported that the first destroyed UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were unable to reach land, thanks to which casualties and destruction were avoided.

On the same day, information appeared about missile strikes carried out by the Russian army on the city of Kropyvnytskyi (formerly Kirovograd) in the Kirovograd region of Ukraine. However, specific data regarding the targets of these strikes and their results have not been published. Local media are prohibited from disseminating information about damaged facilities and their use by the Ukrainian military.
