Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
#Russia's aerial attacks on Ukraine are in the news almost every day, but nobody really talks about what happens after a drone is shot down.
We broke it down with bomb disposal technician Serhii. https://www.counteroffensive.news/p/the-24-hours-after-a-shahed-attack
It was October 2022, and Serhii* is staring in dismay at a two-meter-high crater.
He had driven out to the impact site of what was believed to be a missile near a village in the #Kyiv region.
But it wasn't a missile. Fiberglass was scattered around the pit, and farther away lay fragments of circuit boards and pieces of an engine.
He didn't fully realize that over the next three years, he and his unit would see hundreds of similar craters. They were left by #Shahed #drones, which swarm over #Ukrainian cities at night like vicious wasps.
While such news reports appear almost daily, there’s a personal tragedy behind every attack that often goes unnoticed.
Despite tremendous damage, #Ukraine is dealing with the destruction from these strikes in record time, becoming an example not only for other countries at war but also for those dealing with other large-scale crises.
