An incident occurred in the Irkutsk region of Russia when Ukrainian drones attempted to take off from a container in a parking lot. One of the men who thwarted the plan was a truck driver from Belarus named Anton Matskevich.
Details of the incident
According to Matskevich, he arrived in Usolye-Sibirskoye and stopped at a parking lot where a truck with a container was located. When drones started flying out of it, the drivers who were at the parking lot decided to take action.
"Everyone helped so that they wouldn't fly anywhere. They were in the back of the plane, we threw stones so that they wouldn't fly," Matskevich said.
Drone attack in Siberia
Let us recall that the drone attack in Siberia was recorded on June 1 on the territory of a military facility located in the village of Sredniy in the Irkutsk region. The source of the drone launch was a truck parked at a gas station.
Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev promised to reward eyewitnesses who tried to shoot down the flying drones.
Reaction and consequences
The incident highlighted the importance of citizens' vigilance and readiness for non-standard situations. The actions of Matskevich and other drivers who took part in the attempt to neutralize the drones demonstrate a high level of civic activism and solidarity.
In the future, additional measures will likely be taken to prevent similar incidents and strengthen security in the region.
