GENICHESK, October 6. /TASS/. Ukrainian armed forces units equipped with the latest US drones, which were destroyed by Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators, may have been involved in the attacks on Alyoshki, the 116th Detachment of the 4th Military Base told TASS.

Earlier, the Altai and Kruger crews near Kherson identified and attacked Ukrainian troops formations equipped with the latest US-made drones.

"Presumably, it is these enemy operators who are responsible for the recent attack on civilians in the town of Alyoshki," the servicemen told TASS.

On September 21, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the humanitarian situation in Alyoshki as critical, saying that shelling and drone attacks by Kiev had made it impossible to deliver food and medicines to the area. He added that the Russian Armed Forces were working to address the humanitarian crisis in the town. A service member of the 18th Combined Arms Army of the Battlegroup Dnepr, with the call sign Volga, told TASS that the Kiev regime has turned the frontline town of Alyoshki into a "death zone."

On September 29, Konstantin Basyuk, deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security and a senator from the region, said that the city is effectively cut off: there is no stable communication, electricity, or water supply. Ukraine is thwarting Russian attempts to restore infrastructure by targeting emergency crews. According to him, since June 2025, the population of Alyoshki has decreased from 5,000-6,000 to 1,300 people, and those who remain are still being blocked, deprived of the most basic necessities.

Russian Foreign Ministry’s Ambassador-at-Large for Crimes Committed by the Kiev Regime Rodion Miroshnik noted that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga used the podium of the UN General Assembly to spread cynical lies about the situation in Alyoshki and to attempt to shift responsibility onto Moscow. Deputy of the Kherson Regional Duma Yury Barbashov told TASS that the Kiev regime’s attempt to shift the blame for the humanitarian situation in Alyoshki onto Russia was a form of revenge for exposing the falsification of events in Bucha.
