As a result of hitting two drones, the administrative building in the port area was destroyed. Another “Shahed-136” was shot down over the sea. The blast wave damaged several nearby houses. One civilian was killed.
Later, during the repeated air attack on Odessa, air defense forces destroyed 4 more kamikaze drones over the sea. Among them, for the first time in Ukraine, a multi-purpose strike UAV of Iranian production “Mohajer-6”, designed for reconnaissance, surveillance and fire damage, was shot down.
After receiving evidence of the use of Iranian UAVs by the russians, Ukraine expels the Iranian ambassador from the country and significantly reduces the number of diplomats in the Iranian embassy. It should be noted that the leadership of Iran has repeatedly declared its alleged neutrality in the war and its willingness to mediate on the issue of ending hostilities. Instead, Iran is now supplying russia with kamikaze drones.
