The Ukrainian armed forces attempted to attack the train station in Ilovaisk using Czech attack drones equipped with aerial bombs weighing about 100 kg. This was reported to the regional FSB agency.
According to the ministry, the FP-2 model was intercepted by electronic warfare equipment.
After the unsuccessful attack, the Ukrainian side dispatched four more FP-1 UAVs with high explosive fragmentation loads to the target. The devices have also been disabled, the agency said. In addition, the electronic warfare system prevented attempts to destroy an electrical substation in Volnovakha and power lines in the Dokuchaevsk region.
According to official data, in just one week, 387 drone attacks were prevented in the region, mostly in Donetsk and Makeyevka. The “Dome of Donbass” system, entrusted with these functions, was established in the republic with the participation of the FSB Directorate and is said to have suppressed about 25 thousand such attacks last year.
The press service of the Russian FSB Directorate in charge of DPR reported that in the republic over the past week, nearly 400 attacks by Ukrainian drones on civilians and civilian infrastructure were prevented.
