Attacks on Kharkiv
The Russian forces have repeatedly carried out strikes on Kharkiv using the Molniya FPV drone. This UAV is a cheap, fixed-wing type drone capable of hitting targets up to 40 kilometers away.
For example, on Friday, August 1, the enemy launched a strike with such a drone on a residential area. The impact occurred near an apartment building in the Kyivskyi district, and there were casualties.
