Iranian “kamikaze” drones are being used by Russia to launch attacks on Ukrainians in a worrying escalation of the war.
Kyiv confirmed that it recently shot down a number of unmanned Shahed-136 drones after they were used in attacks over the weekend.
Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesperson for Odesa's regional administration said: "The enemy is trying to save on missiles... these Shaheds are much cheaper, they can be used much more frequently and in pairs.
