Thirteen Shahed kamikaze drones, launched from the area of Cape Chauda in Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Crimea, were shot down as they made their way towards the southern, eastern and central regions of Ukraine.

Another unidentified attack drone, launched from Russian territory to the north of Ukraine, was also shot down. It triggered an air alert in Kyiv Oblast and city from 9 p.m. until just after 11 p.m.

The enemy also fired a Kh-59 cruise missile from a Su-34 aircraft from the airspace of the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Oblast.

A number of Ukrainian regions issued air-raid alerts overnight in response to the Russian attacks.
