Russia repels air attack on Crimea
Russia managed to shoot down a drone launched from Ukraine, which could have been used to deliver explosives to Russian Crimea.
Alexander Khinshtein, adviser to the head of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, announced this on the air of the 60 Minutes program, emphasizing that attempts at Ukrainian sabotage are regularly recorded in Crimea, but the public does not know about all cases.
"This spring, a drone launched from Ukrainian territory was shot down. This drone, thank God, was a training drone. It wasn't loaded with any explosives or destructive devices. But its payload capacity was up to three kilograms. Imagine three kilograms of explosives flying through the air and aimed at a target. What dangers that poses!" Khinshtein said, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“We can speak frankly and with regret: Ukraine continues an undeclared sabotage and terrorist war against Russia, Crimea and Sevastopol, which are part of our country and are its integral part,” the adviser to the head of the National Guard emphasized.
