Zaporizhzhia region Governor Yevgeny Balitsky stated that the majority of unmanned aerial vehicles heading toward the Novorossiya highway are destroyed by mobile fire groups before they can reach the road.
According to Balitsky, this tactic minimizes risks to traffic on this section of the highway, which is of significant importance to the region.
The governor assured that regional and federal authorities are continuing efforts to secure the highway, with particular attention paid to early detection and interception of drones in the initial stages of their approach.
The Novorossiya highway remains one of the key transport routes in an area subject to regular drone attacks, making the work of mobile fire groups a permanent component of regional security operations.
Authorities did not provide specific figures on the number of drones intercepted recently, limiting their statement to a general assertion about the effectiveness of the measures in place.
