A SIM card of the Ukrainian operator was found in the Russian drones launched by the aggressor country on the territory of Ukraine, according to the Institute for the Study of War and Kyivstar.

According to preliminary data, Russia uses the SIM cards of Kyivstar.

This allegedly allows the Russians to use the operator's mobile network to track the drone's location and change its flight pattern.

The company itself also responded to the information. They stated that they are already cooperating with law enforcement agencies to "prevent the situation from happening again in the future."

It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Russia has used Ukrainian operators. Earlier, Kyivstar claimed that its users had received an SMS message calling for treason.

Russian attack on Ukraine on November 30

Last night, Russian forces attacked Ukrainian territory with S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles and kamikaze drones.

In total, air defense forces destroyed 14 attack UAVs. Air defense was effective in the southern, eastern, and central regions.

However, there were also hits. The occupiers attacked the Donetsk region with eight S-300 anti-aircraft-guided missiles. The attack left many wounded, including children, and there may still be people under the rubble.
