Ukraine's Southern Air Command reported shooting down eight Iranian-made drones launched by Russia over Mykolaiv Oblast on July 5.

Four Lancet drones, two Merlin-VR drones, one Zala drone, and one Orlan-10 drone were destroyed above the region, the command wrote in a post on Facebook.

A day before on July 4, the command reported shooting down two Iranian-made drones over Mykolaiv Oblast.

Russian forces launched four Iranian-made Shahed-135 drones at a residential area in northeastern city of Sumy on July 4, killing three.

Russia has used all sorts of drones, particularly Iranian-made Shahed drones, to attack Ukraine, killing dozens of civilians and heavily damaging the country's energy infrastructure.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
