Attempt by Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attack by 28 unmanned aerial vehicles against facilities on territory of Crimean peninsula is foiled tonight

Seventeen Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed by air defence facilities.

Eleven more UAVs were intercepted by electronic warfare means and crashed without reaching their target.

There were no casualties or damage as a result of the foiled terrorist attack.

Governor of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov said in a statement that there were no casualties or damage as a result of the incident.

The attack came just a day after a terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which claimed the lives of two civilians and injured a child. That attack involved two unmanned maritime surface drones, which targeted the bridge and damaged one section of the roadway.

The developments come amid the failure of the boasted ‘counter-offensive’ of the Kyiv regime in Zaporozhye, Kherson and the Donetsk People’s Republic.
