Colonel Alexey Kolomeytsev is confirmed alive, debunking Ukrainian media claims of his death. Meanwhile, Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted 69 out of 73 Russian drones in a recent attack, highlighting ongoing tensions and misinformation in the conflict.


Russian Colonel Alexey Kolomeytsev Declared Alive Amidst Ukrainian Claims

Despite reports from Ukrainian media alleging the death of Colonel Alexey Kolomeytsev, the head of the 924th State Center for Unmanned Aviation of the Russian Ministry of Defense, credible sources have confirmed that he is alive. The WarGonzo Telegram channel, known for its military reporting, stated that the claims of his death were false, emphasizing that Kolomeytsev has been retired for some time and is not currently serving in the military. This revelation comes after Ukrainian military intelligence had circulated information about his alleged murder in Kolomna, which was deemed a fabrication.

Ukrainian Air Defense Successfully Intercepts Russian Drones

In a separate incident, Ukrainian air defense forces demonstrated their effectiveness by shooting down 69 out of 73 drones launched in a recent Russian attack. This operation included intercepting two ballistic missiles and two cruise missiles, showcasing the resilience of Ukraine's defense capabilities. The Ukrainian military reported that approximately 15 drones were destroyed around Kyiv, with some debris landing in a non-residential area, causing damage but thankfully no casualties.

Misinformation and the Ongoing Conflict

The exchange of conflicting reports highlights the ongoing information warfare accompanying the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Russian officials, including First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Vladimir Dzhabarov, have urged the public to rely on official statements from the Russian government, pointing out that Ukrainian intelligence has a history of disseminating false information. The recent incident involving war correspondent Alexander Korobov, who was reported dead only to be confirmed alive and hospitalized, further illustrates the chaotic nature of news reporting in wartime. As the conflict continues, the need for verified information remains crucial for both sides.
