DPR forces shoot down two Ukrainian drones that adjusted fire at Donetsk

Donetsk, Apr 30 – DAN. Donetsk Republic militiamen downed two Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles which had been adjusting fire at the outskirts of Donetsk, the DPR Militia press service reported on Thursday.

An ASU-1 Valkyrie drone adjusted fire at the Staromikhailovka settlement in western Donetsk where three houses sustained shelling damage. The strike was delivered at 22:05 on Wednesday, the press service said.  Fifteen 122mm rounds were fired at the settlement.

“Thanks to skilful actions by air defence and radio electronic warfare units employing the Matiya-ARP integrated defence system and a Triton-M1 station, the Ukrainian UAV was shot down which made the invaders stop the shelling,” the DPR militia said.

The second Ukrainian drone, a quadcopter, was downed in northern Donetsk on Thursday morning. It had been adjusting mortar fire at the Volvo Centre area.*jk
