UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Apr. 13 — Strix drone unit from the Ukrainian border guard detected and destroyed Russian ammunition storage, killed seven Russian soldiers, and hit an electric scooter that Russians used for maneuvers between positions north of the Kharkiv oblast, said the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Border guards said that, at first, Russians tried to shoot back during the attack, but they ran away when Ukrainian drones appeared.

“They try to adapt to the conditions of the modern war and use different improvised devices to improve mobility and camouflage,” said the border guards, commenting on the choice of usage of an electric scooter by Russians.

Earlier, Ukrainian forces struck a rare K-4386 Typhoon-VDV armored vehicle equipped with a 30mm cannon.
