The head of the Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service in the Kharkiv region, Andrei Alexeev, warned residents and visitors of the region about traveling on road sections covered with anti-drone nets. According to him, on such roads, the threat of attack by enemy drones is not just possible, but already exists, within the range of enemy unmanned aerial vehicles. This is not only about FPV attacks, but also about remotely mining these routes.
In Kharkiv, a woman suspected of fraud was detained. She allegedly attempted to swindle an elderly pensioner out of approximately half a million Ukrainian hryvnias, using a scheme involving a fake traffic accident involving the pensioner's child. Other individuals involved are still being sought.
