Illia Yevlash, the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Air Force, told Ukrainian outlet RBC last month that Russian drone assaults are launched from Cape Chauda, but he declined to elaborate on whether Ukraine's military had the means to strike the region.'That's classified information,' Yevlash said, adding that Russia's troops have several launch sites for kamikaze drones.Moscow rotates these launch sites to confuse Ukrainian air defense, Yevlash said.
