Since February 24, the Russian military has been conducting a special operation in Ukraine to denazify and demilitarize the country.
The KP.RU website publishes online the latest news about the Russian military special operation in Ukraine on May 8, 2023.
In the special operation zone Russian drone “Lancet” destroyed the American anti-aircraft missile system “Avenger”, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The Avenger air defense system was previously delivered to Kyiv by the Pentagon, just to combat drones.
Near Avdiivka, airstrikes were carried out on the mortar positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The unusual situation was that at first the Ukrainian positions were attacked by their own aircraft.
The helicopter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was afraid to fly closer to the Russian positions, and tried to strike where it reached, and at the same time did not take into account that there were fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. An hour and a half after this incident, Russian aircraft also hit the same positions.
FSB officers detained members of the Ukrainian DRGwhich was engaged in the delivery of improvised explosive devices for drone attacks on a military airfield in the Ivanovo region.
On the night of May 7, air defense systems shot down 22 UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the Black Sea. It was noted that during the night over the Black Sea, air defense systems detected 22 Ukrainian strike drones. All UAVs were destroyed by fire from anti-aircraft missile systems or suppressed by means of electronic warfare.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that Russian assault troops occupied two more blocks in Artemovsk with the support of airborne units from the flanks.
