Russian air defenses brought down 20 drones in the early hours of Saturday over Crimea, the Defense Ministry has revealed, calling the incursion an attempted “terrorist attack” by Ukraine.
The ministry wrote on Telegram that 14 UAVs were shot down, while six others were incapacitated by electronic warfare.
“There were no casualties or damage as a result of the thwarted terrorist attack,” the ministry noted.
The statement added that the destroyed drones had targeted unspecified facilities on the peninsula.
Several hours earlier, Oleg Kryuchkov, an aide to Crimea’s leader Sergey Aksenov, wrote on his Telegram channel that “air defenses had been activated over various parts of Crimea.”
