Ukraine’s army says the incident took place on August 4, 2026. The war in Ukraine is described as the first major conflict dominated by unmanned aerial vehicles. Kyiv has set a target of producing seven million drones by 2026, while Ukrainian estimates put Russia’s daily long-range attack-drone capacity at 350 to 500.
