Two drones flew in the direction of Russia, and another one flew towards the Republic of Belarus.

This night, the enemy again attacked Ukraine with missiles and “Shaheds”. According to the Ukrainian Air Force , the Russians launched an attack with an Iskander-M ballistic missile from the Voronezh region, four S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles from the occupied Donetsk region and 52 Shahed-131/136 attack UAVs from the Kursk region of Russia.

It is noted that aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units and mobile fire groups in the Kyiv, Poltava, Cherkasy, Dnepropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Kirovograd, Nikolaev and Sumy regions were involved in repelling the enemy’s air attack.

At the same time, the Air Force pointed out an unusual detail of the attack – more than two dozen enemy drones fell on their own.

“As a result of the anti-aircraft battle, 24 Shahed-131/136 attack UAVs were shot down, 25 were lost locally (fell on their own). Two drones flew in the direction of Russia, and another one – to the Republic of Belarus,” the report says.
