Mysterious Night Raid: Ukraine Fights Off Russian Aerial Assault Suddenly

Ukraine’s Air Defense

Ukraine’s Air Force reported that the country was attacked by two Russian missiles and 61 drones, including Iranian-designed Shaheds and imitating drones, during the night. The imitating drones are often used by Russia to hinder Ukraine’s ability to repel air attacks, causing unnecessary waste of ammunition for aerial defenses.

Damage and Casualties

At least 46 drones and two X-59/69 missiles were shot down by air defenses in 11 regions, according to the Air Force. The demolished drones caused damage to several buildings and vehicles in the regions of Kyiv, Cherkasi, and Jmelnitski. A nine-storey housing building in the city of Vishneve, in the Kyiv region, was damaged, but no injuries or fatalities were reported as most apartments were empty at the time of the attack.

Call to Action

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski emphasized that each Russian missile and drone is built using foreign components, and urged for urgent measures to cut the supply of these components, such as chips, switches, and transceivers, to Russia. Zelenski made this statement after a previous drone attack killed three and injured four civilians in the Kyiv region.

Ongoing Attacks

During the night attack, 15 imitating drones disappeared from radars without causing any damage. Russia has continued to attack regions on the front and border of Ukraine, including a school in the city of Jersón, where at least one civilian was injured. On Friday, at least seven civilians were injured in the Jersón region by Russian drones, artillery, and aviation attacks.

Regional Updates

A civilian was injured in the besieged city of Pokrovsk, in the Donetsk region, while no victims were recorded in the Cheriguiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumi regions, which were also attacked by Russia. The Air Force continues to monitor the situation and respond to ongoing attacks.
