Details:Terekhov reported that the Russians had launched an attack with eight Shahed drones on one of the depots where city trolleybuses were being repaired and serviced.

Quote:Most of the transport was dispersed across the city in advance – this is what saved us from much greater losses. But the vehicles under repair were hit: one trolleybus was completely destroyed and another 18 suffered varying degrees of damage."
