Explosion rocks Vladivostok, unidentified flying object spotted
An explosion
rocked the Russian city of Vladivostok near a naval base on Aug. 9, and a
video showing a flying object hovering for an extended period in the area
has gone viral.
The corvette “Gromky” of the Pacific Fleet was involved in a training exercise to defend Vladivostok from a hypothetical aerial strike by an “adversary,” at the time, according to the press service of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Federation.
“The air defense systems of the corvette “Gromky” identified targets, prepared the air defense for deployment, and practiced the algorithm of actions during a simulated air attack.”
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has prohibited witnesses from disclosing what occurred in Vladivostok, according to local lawyer and politician Maxim Chikhunov.
“In the morning, FSB workers arrived and questioned us. Our neighbor advised us not to talk about what happened to anyone,” he said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
