Russia’s defense ministry says air defenses have downed what authorities describe as five Ukrainian balloons. The sides have kept up long-range strikes that have featured heavily in what has largely become a war of attrition.
Firefighters work on a building that was partially destroyed after a Russia n bombardment in Chernihiv, Ukraine , Wednesday, April 17, 2024. Three Russia n missiles slammed into a downtown area of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv on Wednesday, hitting an eight-floor apartment building and killing at least 17 people, authorities said.
The balloons aren’t able to maneuver in the air. The GPS module is likely used to coordinate the release of explosives if the balloon floats over a specific area, with the aim of sowing panic on the ground and distracting Russian air defense assets.
The defense ministry also said that three drones were destroyed over the Rostov region, both in southern Russia.
