Massive combined Russian strike
On the night of September 28, the Russian army launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine with Shahed drones.
One of the main targets was Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
In addition, the Russians struck the country with Kinzhal missiles, which triggered explosions in the Khmelnytskyi region.
The enemy also launched cruise missiles from strategic bombers, which have already entered Ukraine’s airspace.
