Ukrainian officials say there have been five attacks on the port city of Odesa in recent days by Russian forces using recently acquired Iran made drones.
Russia had launched Iran-made Shahid-136 kamikaze drones against the city “for several days in a row,” Serhii Bratchuk, spokesperson for Odesa region civil military administration, said. “The enemy is trying to save its cruise missiles, missiles of different calibers, because these drones are much cheaper … And they work not alone, but sometimes in pairs. We even note that the enemy may launch several such kamikaze drones during one attack.”
In the latest drone attacks, “there were two hits, one kamikaze drone was destroyed, but a detonation took place on the territory of this military object [installation]….There were no casualties,” he added.
Separately, Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for Operational Command South, said samples of the drones were being studied to develop ways to destroy them.
