Shelling of Ukraine

Recently, the frequency of nighttime drone attacks has significantly increased, posing new challenges for Ukraine in defending against aerial threats.

Last night, Russian forces launched multiple strikes across various regions of Ukraine. An S-300 guided anti-aircraft missile was launched from the Belgorod region and struck Kharkiv. Additionally, two Kh-59/69 guided missiles were fired from the Kursk region toward the Chernihiv region, and guided aerial bombs were used to strike the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

During the night, Russia deployed 110 Shahed strike drones and other unidentified UAVs, launching them from the areas of Kursk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and Bryansk.

As of 11:00 AM Kyiv time, it was reported that air defense forces destroyed 46 enemy drones.
