The drone management course in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine has become mandatory for local school students. This time, after completing theoretical training, students of Blagodatnivska school competed in their ability to fly quadrocopters. The participants of the "races" were students of grades 5-6.

This was reported by the National Resistance Center.

In addition, the occupiers have introduced a module on UAV technology in labor lessons in the temporarily occupied territories. This module is aimed at studying the technology, design and assembly of unmanned aerial vehicles for military purposes. Also, students are actively campaigning for further training in technical specialties and employment at military plants.

The occupiers plan to attract as many young people as possible to their military structures and to work in the defense industry. By doing so, Russia is once again violating international law by using civilians for military purposes.

Meanwhile, hostile drones continue to be regularly spotted in Ukraine's airspace. For example, on October 19, the enemy killed one person in Kherson region and wounded seven other civilians. The Russian military also hit a critical infrastructure facility, an educational institution, and an administrative building.

Also in September, an educational institution in the Shevchenkivska community was damaged as a result of a nighttime attack byShahed-131/136attack drones.

On September 28, a pensioner couple was injured in Mykolaiv region when a drone hit their residential building. One of them is in serious condition.

Earlier, the town of Vilkovo in Odesa region was attacked at night by Russian unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Crimea. Civilian infrastructure, including a hotel and restaurant complex, was damaged. There were no casualties.
