Uncertainty in drone data over Abkhazia has worried commentators.
The Secretary of the Abkhazian Security Council stated that more than half of the drones fell into the sea, with only 14 reaching land, but he could not identify their origin. Social media users demanded answers about the source of the threat.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," 30 drones were spotted over Abkhazia on March 4; they were shot down by Abkhazian and Russian air defense forces. Drone debris has been discovered in 11 populated areas, causing a power outage in one village.
Secretary of the Abkhazian Security Council, Raul Lolua, reported that approximately 30 drones violated the republic's airspace, of which 14 reached land, while the rest were "neutralized and fell into the sea," Apsnypress reports.
The origin of the drones has not yet been determined; additional time will be needed to study their type and purpose.
"It is important for the population to know: the drones did not strike the republic's territory and, according to preliminary data, were neutralized by electronic warfare systems," Lolua said.
Abkhazian President Badra Gunba, at an extraordinary meeting of the republic's Security Council, instructed security forces to ensure clear coordination in responding to UAV violations of Abkhazian airspace, the presidential press service reported.
Users of the Instagram account "Apsnypress," which published security forces' reports on the discovered drone wreckage, asked questions about the origin of the UAVs in Abkhazian airspace.
