Russia sent an exploding drone inscribed with « Happy New Year » as part of a barrage of strikes to mark the new year, according to an official.
Andriy Nebytov, the chief of police in the capital Kyiv, posted images of the drone on Facebook after attacks across Ukraine on New Year’s Eve and in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
The images show « Happy New Year » written in Russian on part of the wreckage. It also features crude drawings of a gift, and a bauble labelled « boom. »
The drone was marked as a Geran-2, the Russian name for the Shahed-136 drones which it acquires from Iran and has been launching at Ukraine in vast numbers.
