Ukraine war: More drone strikes, new military aid and Russian attacks

euronews.com:

A drone attack on Saturday targeted the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, with no injuries, according to the governor of the city on the annexed Crimean peninsula.

"The drone was shot down right above the Fleet Headquarters, fell on the roof and caught fire," Mikhail Razvojaev wrote on Telegram.

The incident "did not cause any serious damage" or injuries, he said, blaming the attack on Ukrainian forces.

This is the second drone attack on the headquarters of the facility in Sevastopol in less than a month.

On 31 July, a drone landed in the yard of the Fleet Headquarters, injuring five employees and causing the cancellation of all festivities planned for the Russian Fleet Day celebrated that day.

Accused by Russia of being behind the attack, Ukraine denied its involvement, calling the accusations a "provocation".

The new attack comes amid a spate of explosions and attacks on Russian military infrastructure in Crimea.

On Thursday evening, Russian forces shot down a drone near a military airfield in Sevastopol.

On Tuesday, explosions occurred at a military base and an ammunition depot in Crimea, which Russia described as an act of "sabotage".

In early August, an explosion of ammunition intended for military aviation near the Saki military airfield in Crimea left one person dead and several injured.

The US will give Ukraine Scan Eagle surveillance drones, mine-resistant vehicles, anti-armor rounds and howitzer weapons to help Ukrainian forces regain territory and mount a counteroffensive against Russian invaders.

A senior defense official told reporters that a new $775 million aid package will include 15 Scan Eagles, 40 mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles known as MRAPs with mine-clearing rollers, and 2,000
