About 30 drones were spotted in the skies of Abkhazia on March 4.

About 30 drones were detected during a massive raid in the airspace of Abkhazia on March 4. On March 5, the commander of the Air Force and Air Defense, Lieutenant General Adgur Gumba, told reporters.

"Despite the enemy conducting reconnaissance, the objects on the territory of the republic were not a direct target. Of the approximately 30 vehicles detected in the airspace, 99% were destroyed. Fragments of the downed vehicles were found in 11 settlements," he said in a video posted on the Telegram channel of the Apsnypress agency.

Gumba noted that previously single flights of 5-7 drones were recorded, but this was not made public in order to avoid panic.

"Our units are trying to adjust the fire so that the downed drone does not plan towards residential buildings. Yesterday, one of the devices damaged a high—voltage power transmission line, but the SUES specialists promptly restored the power supply," he added.
