Ukraine’s Air Force has said it shot down its own drone that lost control over Kyiv on the evening of Thursday, May 4.
Ukraine’s Air Force Command said this in a post on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“On May 4, around 20:00 in the Kyiv region, a Bayraktar TB2 UAV lost control during a planned flight,” the post said.
The uncontrolled presence of drones in the sky of the Ukrainian capital could lead to undesirable consequences, so the decision was made to shoot down the UAV.
“The target has been destroyed! It’s a pity, but this is equipment, and such cases happen. It is likely a technical malfunction. The causes are being established,” the Air Force added.
No casualties were recorded, the report said.
