Border guards down four Russian drones in Bakhmut

In Bakhmut, Donetsk region, units of Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service repelled yet another wave of Russian attacks, shooting down four enemy unmanned aerial vehicles using anti-drone guns.

That’s according to the border guards’ press service, Ukrinform reports.

Russian attacks were repelled by mortar fire by Ukraine’s border guards in conjunction with aerial reconnaissance forces. The SBGSU says the invaders were forced to retreat, suffering losses.

Over another defense position, Ukrainian forces spotted two Russian drones. Both were disabled by anti-drone guns.
