Russia sends propaganda drone carrying recruitment leaflets toward Kyiv

Original: Russian forces launch propaganda Shahed drone with territorial recruitment centre leaflets at Kyiv A propaganda Shahed d

Russian forces launched a Shahed drone loaded with propaganda leaflets targeting Ukraine's territorial recruitment centres, apparently urging men to evade mobilisation, along with a QR code linked to a phishing site. Ukrainian air defences shot the drone down over Ukraine on the evening of 4 February, according to Ukrainian media reports.

Why now: It is an unusual example of Russia using attack drones not for strikes but for psychological and phishing operations against Ukrainian mobilisation.
