Militants get permission to shoot down OSCE drones - intelligence

According to military intelligence, the command of the occupation "seventh brigade" has permitted militants to shoot down the unmanned aerial vehicles of the OSCE mission in order to hide a systematic violation of the Minsk agreements.

Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesperson Andriy Lysenko stated this at a briefing on Tuesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"According to the main intelligence department of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the command of the so-called 'seventh brigade' of the enemy permitted its subordinate militants to shoot down the unmanned aerial vehicles of the OSCE mission. This will be done by snipers from masked positions," he said.

Lysenko noted that these measures were caused by the enemy's desire to hide their systematic violation of the Minsk agreements.
