Drone plane downed over Horlivka - Donbas self-defense forces

MOSCOW. June 16 (Interfax) - The self-defense forces of the Donetsk People's Republic have reported that they shot down a Ukrainian drone plane over Horlivka last night.

"A drone plane flew over Slovyansk for some time and there were many drone planes over Horlivka. One of them was shot down by the self-defense forces" Konstantin Knyrik, the head of the information center Southeastern Front, told Interfax on Monday.

The source said electrical power supply was shut down in the city to create a blackout to prevent aimed bombing of the city by Ukrainian aviation.
