The Russian invaders claimed that 9 drones stopped working as a result of electronic warfare, and another 16 were shot down by air defense forces.
The temporarily occupied Crimea was allegedly attacked by 25 drones. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense on Telegram on July 30.
According to the ministry, 16 drones were shot down by air defense systems. Another 9 stopped working as a result of electronic warfare activities.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the drones did not reach their target because they crashed in the Black Sea near Cape Tarkhankut, but no evidence was made public. There seem to be no casualties or infrastructure damage.
Local residents are discussing the troubled situation on the peninsula on social media. The Crimean Wind Telegram channel published a photo, according to eyewitnesses, of the alleged operation of Russian air defense.

A blow to the Chongar bridge
On July 29, the Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked the Chongar Bridge. In this way, the enemy’s logistics on the left bank of the Kherson region continue to be destroyed.
Natalia Gumenyuk, spokeswoman for the Joint Press Center of the Operational Command “South,” said that the strikes are aimed at reducing the capacity of the bridge and nearby transportation routes. On the left bank, the enemy is experiencing a significant shortage of shells and equipment due to our combat operations. The Russian occupation units are looking for new detour routes to supply their troops with ammunition, equipment and resupply.
“That’s why the work was done in a filigree, precise, accurate manner,” she explained.
Explosions in Kozacha Bay and destruction of the BC warehouse
