Ukrainian drones reached North Ossetia

For the first time, drones from Ukraine attacked the territory of North Ossetia. Their goal was a military airfield in Mozdok. All three aircraft were shot down.

The Russian Ministry of Defense called the incident “an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack” using an unmanned aerial vehicle.
As the department reported, over the past night, Russian air defense forces shot down 25 drones over the Rostov, Belgorod, Bryansk, Tula, Astrakhan regions, Krasnodar Territory and Crimea.

North Ossetia is located at a considerable distance from the combat zone in Ukraine. The distance is about 900 km. At the end of May, the Orenburg region, Bashkiria and Tatarstan were attacked by Ukrainian drones; the distance from the territory of Ukraine to the crash sites of these three devices is more than a thousand kilometers.
