Ukrainians had another sleepless night on Friday as Russian forces launched over 40 attack drones across Ukraine. Ukrainian air defenses said they had foiled the attack that included:
- One guided Kh-59 missile launched from the occupied Luhansk region
- One Kh-31P anti-radiation missile that came from Bryansk region, Russia
- 44 Shahed-type attack drones from Kursk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and occupied Crimea
By 8:00 AM, Ukrainian air defense forces had destroyed 27 drones. Radars lost eight more drones after electronic warfare interference. One drone flew into the occupied Donetsk region.
Several remaining drones are still hovering over some regions, and efforts to neutralize them are ongoing.
Drones were intercepted in Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Poltava, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy regions.
The attack was foiled by the coordinated effort from Ukrainian aviation, air defense missile units, electronic warfare divisions, and mobile fire units.
