Ukrainian journalist and politician Anatoly Shari said the Russian drone strike on the office of Ukraine's security service chief was as precise as Israeli military operations. "Such a precise strike I have only seen in Israeli execution," he said.
Earlier on Saturday, Ukrainian journalist and politician Anatoly Shari commented on the precision of the Russian drone strike that hit the office of the acting SBU chief on Friday, stating he had only seen such accuracy in Israeli military operations.
The strike itself unfolded Friday afternoon. At 16:26 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported (citing Ynet) that a drone had struck the office of the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, with the official vowing a significant response. Shortly thereafter, additional reporting identified the drone as a Russian Geran-4 jet-powered drone that targeted the office of acting SBU chief Oleksandr Poklad, setting the building ablaze. Later that day, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the strike had wounded at least 12 people, with Poklad himself unharmed. As The Zioneer reported, the attack on the SBU headquarters marked a notable shift toward directly targeting senior security leadership amid an ongoing war of drones between Russia and Ukraine.
Anatoly Shari is an independent Ukrainian journalist and politician known for his critical stance toward the Ukrainian government. His comparison of the strike's precision to Israeli execution is a personal observation; he provided no further details or evidence to support the claim.
The Zioneer continues to monitor reactions and further developments.
