The Russian authorities reported this Wednesday that their Armed Forces have intercepted three weather balloons with which the Ukrainian Army had attempted to carry out an attack on the Briansk region, located on the border with northern Ukrainian territory.
As detailed by the governor of Bryansk, Alexander Bogomaz, on his official Telegram channel, Russian forces have managed to shoot down the three weather balloons without having to report any victims or material damage.
“An attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using aerial reconnaissance elements has been thwarted (…) Operational and emergency services are working on the scene,” added Governor Bogomaz.
The Ukrainian authorities accused Russia months ago of using this type of balloons equipped with corner reflectors for espionage purposes within the framework of the war, which began at the end of February 2022 by order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
