Shelling of Ukraine

Since the beginning of the full-scale aggression, the Russian Federation has been systematically shelling the territory of Ukraine. The Russian military has been using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), various types of missiles, guided aerial bombs, and other types of weapons to attack. Hostile attacks pose a significant threat to the safety and lives of civilians.

On the night of January 19-20, Russian troops conducted another large-scale night attack on Ukraine, using 141 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of various types. The attacks were carried out from five directions. Thanks to the work of air defense, 93 drones were destroyed. Another 47 imitator drones were lost in the area and did not cause any negative consequences.

Also on January 20, an air alert was declared in Kyiv and a number of regions due to the detection of a high-speed target.
