"The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue provocations by attempting attacks with unmanned aerial vehicles on Russia’s nuclear energy facilities. On August 17, electronic warfare forces suppressed a fixed-wing drone (the Ukrainian-made ‘Spis’ strike UAV) over the territory of the Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant. This foiled a terrorist attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a nuclear energy site,” the statement reads.
Kiev’s attempt to strike nuclear infrastructure in Smolensk region foiled – drone intercepted in local airspace, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed.
