Quote: "The enemy intensified the use of kamikaze drones to damage civilian infrastructure targets, including these in the rear, which are significantly distant from the contact zone.
During the day [of 21 September – ed.], the enemy sent two strike drones into the coastal area of the city of Ochakiv. One drone was shot down, the second made a self-destructing attack on the coastal area. There are no casualties.
Parts of the downed drone were identified as an Iranian-made Shahed-136 kamikaze drone, which the Russian occupation forces rebranded as Geran 2. This is a barrage munition weighing 200 kilos with a wingspan of 2.5 metres.
In the evening, the enemy shelled the Bashtanka district with two Smerch (Tornado) multiple rocket launcher missiles. Power supply has been disrupted in several settlements. There are no casualties."
