A Russian air defense unit from the Dnepr grouping has shot down a Ukrainian strike drone in the Kherson region. The crew, using an Osa-AKM missile system, detected and destroyed the unmanned aerial vehicle at a distance of over five kilometers as it flew deep into the region to target civilian infrastructure. The anti-aircraft regiment has reportedly downed more than twenty aerial targets in the past month alone, with the unit relocating after the engagement for reloading and maintenance.
