Today, a massive combined attack occurred across all regions of Ukraine. During the night and morning, Russian forces deployed various types of drones, including ‘Shahed’ drones, as well as cruise, ballistic, and aerial missiles: ‘Zircon,’ ‘Iskander,’ and ‘Dagger.’
According to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, approximately 120 missiles and 90 drones were used in total. Air defence forces successfully destroyed more than 140 aerial targets.
‘The enemy targeted our energy infrastructure across Ukraine. Unfortunately, there is damage to facilities from both direct hits and falling debris. In Mykolaiv, a drone attack killed two people and injured six others, including two children. My condolences to the families and friends of the victims. Currently, there are areas without power supply, and all necessary forces are involved in response and recovery efforts.
We are grateful to all our air defence forces involved in repelling this attack: anti-aircraft missile troops, our aviation – pilots of F-16s, Sukhoi, and MiGs, mobile fire groups, electronic warfare – all worked in an organised manner. Thank you for your reliable protection!’ Zelenskyy wrote on social media.
