Beyond Pskov, Ukrainian drones were also shot down over Oryol, Bryansk, Ryazan, Kaluga and the Moscow region surrounding the Russian capital.<\/p>\n
The Russian MoD covered each attack bar the Pskov incident, which appeared to be the most destructive. Footage of the incident was published by local media outlets and the governor of the affected region.<\/p>\n
In all, the MoD began posting about the drone attacks at 11.53pm GMT. Five near identical posts were issued within the space of two and a half hours; each one said the Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle strikes had been \u201cthwarted\u201d.<\/p>\n
Wedged in between those reports, they claimed they had also killed 50 special forces Ukrainian fighters in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> The statement read: \u201cOn August 30, at about 00.00 Moscow time, a naval aviation aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet in the Black Sea destroyed four high-speed military boats with landing groups of Ukrainian special operations forces with a total number of up to 50 people.\u201d<\/p>\n They provided no evidence and Express.co.uk is yet to see any visual or official confirmation of this attack.<\/p>\n The claim was reposted by many of the smaller Russian milbloggers in the community, run by either one person or a small team, but was ignored by the larger channels.<\/p>\n A number of the milbloggers also expressed scepticism of the claims, refraining from outright denying it but equally declining to accept its truth at face value.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

I’ll find out the details, and if this information is confirmed, it definitely draws on a sticker.\u201d<\/p>\n Another wrote: \u201cThe Ministry of Defense decided to interrupt the negative of Pskov with a statement that two hours ago, four high-speed boats of the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a landing force on board were destroyed by the aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n \u201cThe number of those killed, as usual, is in the dozens. We hope, like last time, the press service will show footage of objective control in order to fix the result not only in words.\u201d<\/p>\n
