Russia has significantly increased the intensity of its use of jet-powered Shahed drones against Ukraine, deploying them almost immediately after they are assembled at factories. In August, the number of drones used exceeded 2,500 units.

On the morning of August 23, in the Odesa region, a Russian jet-powered drone attacked a train carrying 593 passengers. There were no casualties due to the timely emergency stop of the train.

During the repelling of an air attack in the Kyiv region, a UAV fragment fell directly onto the road in front of a vehicle. The driver was able to avoid a collision by performing a maneuver at the moment of the explosion.
