Russia destroys Starlink station used by Ukraine

Moscow, Sep 18 (Prensa Latina) Russian forces destroyed a Starlink satellite communication station used by the Ukrainian forces in the border region of Chernobyl, the National Guard (Rosgvardia) reported today.

The text specifies that Russian UAV operators carried out a targeted attack using a drone with incendiary ammunition against the satellite communication station, a note from the Sputnik news agency informed.

As a result of this attack, fire broke out at a Ukrainian foothold, which then spread throughout the enemy’s territory, including the Starlink station, the information added.

Russia has been conducting a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24, 2022, whose objectives, according to President Vladimir Putin, are to protect the population from “genocide by the Kiev government”.

It also aims to tackle the national security risks posed by the advance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to the east.

Ukraine is militarily supported by 32 countries of the war bloc, led by the United States and including most of the countries of the European Union.
