Ukraine Confirms 54 Drone And Nine Missile Hits Overnight


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Yurii Ihnat, Head of the Communications Department of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reported this during a TV broadcast, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.

“We see that nine missiles hit the targets, including four ballistic and five cruise missiles, all ground-launched. These are Iskander-K cruise missiles and Iskander-M ballistic missiles, or the North Korean KN-23 equivalent. The affected regions include Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, and Kyiv. From today's attack, we have 54 confirmed drone hits. There are also downed drones that fell after being hit, which can still cause consequences. In addition, we have confirmation of nine missile impacts,” Ihnat said.

Ihnat also commented on Russian drones crossing Belarusian airspace. According to him, such precedents have already occurred, including with Romania and Moldova. This time, several Shaheds“cut across” Belarusian territory.

The Air Force spokesperson reminded that Russians carefully calculate drone and missile routes, in particular using information from open sources such as monitoring Telegram channels. He therefore urged minimizing the real-time publication of their movements.
