Russian shelling of Ukraine

Since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has been systematically attacking Ukrainian settlements, causing significant destruction and civilian casualties. The attacks have used various types of weapons, including missiles, artillery systems, kamikaze drones, and aircraft.

On the night of November 25, Russia attacked Ukraine with 145 drones. Air defense managed to destroy 71 drones. Another 71 drones were lost locally, presumably due to active countermeasures by the electronic warfare of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
