Bryansk Governor Oleksandr Bogomaz said on Monday night that the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an attack from drones on objects in the regional capital, Interfax reports.

“There were no victims. As a result of throwing an explosive device, the building of the District Military Committee was damaged,” the Russian official wrote on his Telegram channel.

He added that emergency services arrived at the scene.

Half an hour later, Bogomaz reported a similar attack on the police building.

“Another attack (…) took place in the Sevsky district. An explosive device was dropped near the UMVS building with the help of a UAV. There are no victims,” ​​he said.

However, some neutral observers of the war in Ukraine received his statements with skepticism, noting several, to say the least, strange moments in the version of events presented by Bogomaz.

What Russia says about the alleged terrorist attack in Bryansk

First, the city of Bryansk, where the Russian governor said the attack took place, is likely to be out of range of most commercial drones, which the Ukrainian military uses to launch hand grenades and other homemade munitions.

Then, while more advanced commercial drone models have the benefit of a thermal imaging camera, launching such an attack at night, at long range, and against a city center (there is a danger of the drone becoming entangled in high-voltage cables) raises several technical challenges.

Furthermore, it is unclear why the Ukrainian armed forces would risk using an expensive drone to launch a grenade or even a slightly more powerful cluster munition at a building when the damage caused would be minimal.

Last but not least, Bogomaz did not publish any photos of the aftermath of the attack, nor did any video of the attack appear on social media. The only photo that appeared in the Russian Telegram networks on this occasion is of a dubious nature and its authenticity cannot be independently confirmed.

Suspicion in the “false flag” operation in Bryansk

Many analysts and independent observers of the war in Ukraine have also expressed doubts about the alleged attack by “Ukrainian saboteurs” provoked by Russia in early March in the Bryansk region, with some concluding that it was more of a “false flag” operation. of Russia

A video released by the FSB, Russia’s security service, of an alleged attack claimed by a group of Russian volunteers fighting on the side of Ukraine did not allay those suspicions.

Of course, President Vladimir Putin personally spoke about this attack, saying that “today (the Ukrainians – no) committed another terrorist attack, another crime, they entered the border zone and opened fire on the civilian population.”

Russia has been saying since last summer that Ukrainian forces have been striking populated areas on its territory, but has rarely provided convincing or any evidence of this.

Some analysts believe that the alleged attacks are being sent by the Russian authorities and Moscow’s propaganda to mobilize its own population and justify the start of the war against Ukraine in its eyes.
