"All three (Shaheds, - ed.) were destroyed by the forces and means of the Air Force," the message reads.

There were explosions in the Khmelnytskyi region that night. In particular, residents of the city of Starokostiantyniv were urged to stay in shelters. Local authorities reported that air defense was operating in the region.

The Russian Federation is preparing for attacks
