A Ukrainian MiG-29 struck Russian UAV operators in the Kherson region
The Ukrainian Air Force carried out strikes on the locations of Russian drone operators in Oleshky and Radensk in the Kherson region. The airstrikes were carried out near Kherson.
According to available information, a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet targeted the Russian military positions.
Judging by the video released, the strikes were carried out using MiG-29 fighter jets retrofitted to carry high-precision bombs.
Guidance and objective monitoring were likely provided by reconnaissance UAVs of the 34th Separate Marine Brigade, which is operating in this area.
Operators of Russian UAVs operating in the Kherson region are notorious for their attacks on the local civilian population in Kherson, Nikopol, and other cities and villages near the banks of the Dnipro River.
One incident that received particular attention occurred in early August, when a Russian drone deliberately pursued a man selling vegetables in Kherson and exploded right next to him. According to medical personnel, the victim was diagnosed with a concussion and multiple shrapnel wounds to the torso, both sides of the chest, and both upper limbs.
An analysis of Russian social media indicates that the occupiers admitted their involvement in this crime. The drone operator could clearly see that his target was a civilian.
A video of the strikes was published by the Telegram channel “FORPOST 34.”
Before Putin’s visit to Krasnoyarsk, gasoline prices fell, and then fuel prices rose.
On the night of August 1, drones attacked several temporarily occupied cities in Ukraine. According to reports from monitoring Telegram channels, fires broke out in Zugres, Berdyansk, Luhansk, Dolzhansk, and Sevastopol following the strikes.
As a reminder, the Russian online marketplace Ozon evacuated employees from its logistics center in Zelenodolsk (Tatarstan) due to the threat of an attack by Ukrainian drones. After the alert ended, the warehouse resumed normal operations.
On the morning of July 31, drones attacked a warehouse complex in Zelenodolsk (Tatarstan, Russian Federation), where the logistics facilities of the Ozon and Wildberries marketplaces are located. Following this, a number of Ukrainian sources reported that strikes on Ozon warehouses might continue.
