On the night of September 20, the Russians launched several groups of barrage munitions of the Shahed type at the territory of Ukraine. The enemy launches were carried out from the Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation.
The Ukrainian Air Force had warned that enemy kamikaze drone groups could change their routes, so an alert was announced in many regions of Ukraine. There were also reports of the air defense system targeting enemy assets.
