Russian Drone Attack on Ukraine
Ukraine was attacked by the enemy at night, using 78 strike drones of the 'Shahed' type and drones of unknown type. This was reported by the press service of the Air Forces.
The defense forces managed to shoot down 32 such drones. Another 45 Russian drones lost their location, likely due to countermeasures from the Defense Forces. One drone is still in the air.
Air defense was carried out by anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups of the Air Forces and Defense Forces of Ukraine. Air defense operated in Kyiv, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, and Poltava regions.
After the attack by Russian drones, debris was recorded falling in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv.
The full-scale war has lasted for 1012 days. In total, there were 211 combat clashes over the last day.
Ukrainian defenders continue to resolutely repel enemy attacks, inflicting fire damage on them and preventing their penetration into the territory. The situation in the Pokrovske, Kurakhove, and Vremivka areas remains tense - the enemy is concentrating its main offensive forces there.
Russia carried out two missile strikes on Ukraine over the past day, using 503 kamikaze drones. In addition, there were more than three thousand shellings of our troops' positions and settlements.
