Drone over Kyiv region heading towards Chornobyl
An unmanned aerial vehicle has been detected in the airspace over the Kyiv region. It is moving on a trajectory towards the Chornobyl exclusion zone. This poses a direct threat to the region and its surroundings. Local authorities and military units are monitoring the flight path. The situation remains tense due to the potential risk to critical infrastructure.
