During a nighttime attack by Russia on July 24, a drone struck the base of the Norwegian People’s Aid humanitarian organization in Mykolaiv. The organization assists with demining in Ukraine, NRK reports.
According to Rune Dale-Andersen, head of the Norwegian People’s Aid department, the premises of the Norwegian humanitarian organization were damaged during the nighttime attack on Mykolaiv.
"We do not know whether it was a Russian drone shot down by Ukraine, or if it was indeed a drone that hit the field base. We are working to clarify this," said Dale-Andersen.
The organization noted that until now, they had not recorded Russian drones so close to their base in Mykolaiv.
"We were lucky. There was no staff in the camp, and there were only material damages," the organization’s representative said.
