The Ukrainian armed forces' air defense systems have shot down seven enemy drones in the western sector of the anti-terrorist operation over the past four weeks, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's press service reported.

"The enemy used these drones to obtain air intelligence about the Ukrainian forces' positions," the press service said.

"Compared to the beginning of the anti-terrorism operation, the Ukrainian air defense forces have become a lot more professional. The enemy's air intelligence service is no longer left unpunished as it was previously," the press service said.
