The OSCE SMM has lost a mid-range unmanned aerial vehicle near the contact line in Donetsk region.

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) informed this in a report, based on information received as of 19:30, April 25, 2019.

"At 11:21 while flying in an area near Azov (formerly Dzerzhynske, non-government-controlled, 25km north-east of Mariupol), a SMM mid-range unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) encountered signal interference assessed as jamming. At 11:22, the SMM, which was flying the UAV remotely from a location near Lebedynske (government-controlled, 16km north-east of Mariupol), lost control of the UAV. An SMM mini-UAV flying in the vicinity of Lebedynske shortly afterwards also experienced signal interference," the report says.

The SMM is making efforts to locate the mid-range UAV.
