Ukraine‘s drone wing says it has killed at least 12 officers and injured 15 others in a strike on a command post for Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).
Unmanned Systems Forces commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi confirmed the attack yesterday in occupied Donetsk, and said Ukrainian forces used FP-2 drones manufactured by the Ukrainian defence company Fire Point.
He said the command post hit in the attack is responsible for sabotage operations, building intelligence networks, recruitment, carrying out terrorist attacks and arson, and coordinating Russian proxy forces. The drones can carry up to 100kg payloads and are used for medium-range strikes.Moscow is yet to comment on the attack.
This comes as the European Union formally approved a €90bn (£78bn) loan to Ukraine and new sanctions against Russia, ahead of an informal summit of the bloc’s leaders in Cyprus which Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky will attend.
The loan is set to cover two-thirds of Ukraine’s financial needs for the next two years.
