Officials later denied this statement. “Since the morning, the Regional State Administration has been receiving calls from Kramatorsk residents and media representatives with questions regarding the origin of the volleys that were heard in the city on Wednesday morning.

“The drone was shot down. The situation in the city is calm,” noted DonOGA.
