Russian shelling of Ukraine

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian Federation has regularly carried out heavy shelling across Ukraine. In particular, frontline settlements are bombarded daily, and nearly every night, unmanned aerial vehicles are launched.

On the night of October 1, terrorists attacked Ukraine with 32 Shahed-type drones. Twenty-nine UAVs were destroyed during the defense efforts, while three others were lost due to electronic warfare countermeasures.
