According to British information, after a break of several weeks, Russia has probably attacked Ukraine again with the help of Iranian drones.

If reports are verified, it means Russia has received supplies, the UK MoD said in its daily intelligence report. It is likely that Russia has previously used up its current stock of hundreds of Shahed-131 and Shahed-136 drones - so-called kamikaze drones.

Official Ukrainian reports were referred to in London. Accordingly, the Ukrainian secret service announced on December 6 that 17 drones had been shot down, including 14 Shahed-136. On December 7, it was said that kamikaze drones had been used in attacks on Zaporizhia and Dnipro Oblasts. A Shahed-136 shot down had previously been reported on November 17. If the new attacks are confirmed, "it is likely that Russia has resumed attacks with newly delivered kamikaze drones," London said.

The British Ministry of Defense has been publishing daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine at the end of February, citing intelligence information. In doing so, the British government wants to both counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line. Moscow accuses London of a disinformation campaign.
