The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attempted to attack objects in the Murmansk region of Russia.
"Our region is being attacked by enemy drones. I ask you to be understanding about a number of temporary restrictions,” Governor Andrey Chibis said.
Restrictions were implemented for Murmansk and Apatity airports. Reportedly, three unknown drones were detected in the Severomorsk area. After that, flight restrictions were introduced throughout the Kola Peninsula.
It is believed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted to attack the Olenya airfield. The airfield is used to operate Russian strategic bombers. It was also said that Ukraine launched A-22 Flying Fox (Foxbat) type unmanned aerial vehicles.
One of the UAVs spotted in the Murmansk region was flying from the side of a NATO member country. Shot Telegram channel claims that the drone was flying from the side of Norway. It was spotted at around 11 o'clock. Preliminary, it was heading towards the Olenya airfield. Two and a half hours before that, two more UAVs were spotted in the sky over the Murmansk region flying from the side of the Arkhangelsk region of Russia.
A Ukrainian drone was shot down in the Far North of Russia in late August. The UAV, also an A22 Foxbat, flew for 1,800 kilometers and could have attacked the Olenya military airfield.
