Details: “We have started installing anti-drone protection at critical infrastructure facilities of the hromada, particularly petrol stations,” said Hennadii Demianenko, First Deputy Head of Sumy City Military Administration. “The reasons are obvious – the enemy has attacked around ten petrol stations in the oblast, including several in Sumy.” [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Demianenko said that each station requires a range of measures: the installation of anti-drone structures, the construction of concrete shelters for fuel tanks and the mounting of drone detectors and electronic warfare systems.

Quote: “We clearly understand that this is about the safety of staff and customers, the surrounding infrastructure and, essentially, the preservation of the business itself. Work has begun. I am confident that fuel business owners will take a responsible approach to this matter, contributing to the strengthening of security for our entire hromada.”
