The Ukrainian Joint Forces in Donbas stopped an aerial reconnaissance operation being carried out by an enemy drone near the town of Bakhmut on Tuesday morning, the Joint Forces said in a statement on Facebook.

"Radio-radar units of the Joint Forces detected and identified the aerial target, an Orlan-10 drone made in Russia, in a timely manner. The improved control system reduced the decision time and helped destroy the hostile aerial target," the Joint Forces said.

Photos of the downed drone were attached to the post.
