Donbass defenders prevented Ukrainian terrorist attack
The defenders of Donbass prevented a terrorist attack that Ukrainian soldiers planned to carry out during the general celebration of Easter.
This was reported by the press service of the DPR NM, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Today at 7.35 am, on the western outskirts of the village of Yasinovataya, air defense crews of the People’s Militia promptly discovered and forcibly landed, using the electronic warfare station “Terrikon - M2N”, an unmanned aerial vehicle of the “quadcopter” type, converted by handicraft into a strike one and launched from the positions of a motorized infantry battalion72- th ombr.
As it fell, the UAV released an improvised explosive device, presumably a VOG-17 round, which exploded when it hit the ground. Thanks to the coordinated actions of the defenders of the Republic, casualties among the population and destruction of civilian infrastructure were avoided,” the message says.
The department also noted that the explosive device could have been intended to attack an Orthodox church during the celebration of Easter.
“We do not rule out that the deadly device was directed by the operator to the Yasinovatsky Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, where, after the church service on Easter Day, the consecration of Easter food is taking place by local residents.
We managed to prevent a similar crime of the Ukrainian Armed Forces a year ago on April 19, 2020, when the invaders from the 54th brigade also tried to commit a terrorist attack against parishioners of the temple in Yasinovataya,” the DPR NM emphasized.
As a reminder, a child was killed and another person was injured earlier as a result of an explosive device dropped from a Ukrainian Armed Forces drone on the western outskirts of Donetsk.
