A child is among three people who were killed after a Russian dront targets a truck carrying gas in the Chernihiv region. The explosion left 4 more people injured.
“Today, Russian forces launched a brutal attack on Snovsk, a border village in the Koriukivka district, targeting civilians. Drones struck a gas delivery truck, causing a massive explosion and igniting nearby homes,” reported the police.
Preliminary information confirms the deaths of three people: a 6-year-old child, the truck driver, and the passenger. Among those who got injuries are a 4-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl, and two men. All the injured have been promptly rushed to the hospital
Chernihiv governor Viacheslav Chaus condemned the attack in his statement on social media. “Did the Russians know where they were striking? Absolutely. They understood the consequences. Law enforcement must provide a legal assessment of this act, and the international community needs to respond.”
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
