The Molniia drone that Russia used to strike Kharkiv on May 1 was equipped with nails to cause more damge to the population.

This was reported on Suspilne by the head of the Main Department of the National Police in Kharkiv region Petro Tokar, Ukrinform reports.

“When the police and explosive experts inspected the drone, they found that a bag of nails was attached to the drone, which means that the enemy wants to inflict maximum damage on the population and resorts to such simple methods - additional striking elements. However, civilians pose no threat to Russian troops, who are located at a considerable distance from Kharkiv and are being held back by the Defense Forces,” Tokar said.
