“One UAV lost control and crashed in the forest belt in the area of 5 km, the debris was found by law enforcement and emergency workers. The second drone was shot down over the sea in the area near the Khersones cape, the third over the sea from the Severnyy Mol direction,” Razvozhayev says.

Yesterday, 6 May, Russian air defence shot down two Ukrainian ballistic missiles Hrim-2 in the Crimean sky, Adviser to the head of Crimea Oleg Kryuchkov said.

Hrim is an operational-tactical missile system developed by Ukrainian design office Yuzhne in the city of Dnipro. The project was unveiled in 2013.
