Details: In addition to the destroyed UAVs, the Kh-59/69 missiles did not reach their targets due to active electronic warfare countermeasures.

The Russians are known to have fired missiles from Russia’s Kursk Oblast and occupied Crimea.

The Shaheds attacked Ukraine from three areas: the Russian cities of Kursk and Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and occupied Crimea.

During the nighttime attack, Radio-Technical and Special Troops of Ukraine's Air Force detected and monitored aerial targets in over 10 Ukrainian oblasts.

Air defence systems responded to the Russian attack in Sumy, Poltava, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, Odesa and Cherkasy oblasts.
