Russia suffered its worst drone attack since the war began; The Ukrainian army allegedly crossed the Surovikin Line. Athletistic highlights yesterday’s key events.
On the night of August 30, Russia was massively attacked by unknown drones. The explosions took place at the Pskov airport, located 700 kilometers from the Ukrainian border and closer to Estonia and Latvia. UAVs also attacked Moscow, Oryol, Bryansk, Ryazan and Kaluga regions, and the temporarily occupied Crimea was attacked by sea drones.
GUR confirmed the attack on the airport in Pskov. They noticed that four Il-76 military transports were destroyed and many more were damaged.
The Kremlin admitted that the attack on the Pskov airport caused a problem for Russian military experts, who have not yet established where these drones came from.
In Bryansk, either drones or their fragments fell on the largest Russian microelectronics plant Silicon EL. Because of this, the fire started at shop No. 20.
The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the offensive in the Zaporozhye region succeeded in the fortress of the so-called “Surovikin Line”. Bild reported this with reference to military observer Julian Repke. “That is, the “dragon’s teeth” held back the Ukrainian soldiers for just about a day,” said Repke. He claimed that in the same area, the Ukrainian Defense Forces advanced 2 kilometers east of the village of Novoprokopovka.
On the night of August 30, Russian troops launched a rocket attack on Kyiv. As a result of falling debris, two security guards of the enterprise were killed. KMVA noted that Kyiv has not felt such a strong attack since the spring. First, the Russians used strike UAVs, and after that, missiles launched from Tu-95ms strategic aircraft flew over the capital. Air defense forces destroyed more than 20 enemy targets.
In Dnipro, a patrol officer shot and killed a man during his arrest. Surveillance cameras showed him driving the car, but when police approached the car, there was a woman in the driver’s seat. He refused to get out of the car at the request of the police. An altercation occurred between the police and a woman and a man in a car. It is interesting that at that moment the children in the car supported the intruder with obscene cries. During the scuffle, the police used a service weapon and shot a man three times who had previously beaten a patrol officer. The man died from his injuries. DBR investigators opened two criminal cases under the articles “planned murder” and “abuse of authority.” The patrolman was arrested. The media writes about the possible connection of the deceased with criminals. The deadly incident on the Dnieper shook Ukrainian society. Users are actively sharing their opinions about who is to blame for this situation. Interior Minister Igor Klimenko and Dnipro Mayor Boris Filatov also commented on the high-profile case.
Ukraine needs military aid for years to come. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a special fund of 5 billion euros per year. This is what the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell said. “We hope to have an agreement as soon as possible. Hopefully it will happen before the end of the year,” Borrell summed up.
Ukraine received 10 Leopards and drones from Germany
The German government has announced the transfer to Ukraine of a new package of military aid, which includes 10 Leopard 1A5 tanks and other weapons. Ukraine was also given a TRML-4D radar; 16 Vector unmanned reconnaissance systems; four HX81 tank transporters; more than 13 million small arms ammunition.
