As most of the nation slept through the night with air raid sirens blaring, Russia began a massive overnight air attack on Ukraine, hitting the nation’s capital and cities in every direction.
Russia Overnight Air Attack on Ukraine: According to early reports, Ukraine’s air defence systems shot down 28 of the 30 Iranian-made Shahed drones that Russia launched, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The forces and our air defense in the airspace surrounding Kyiv found and eliminated some 20 enemy targets, according to Serhiy Popko, commander of the Kyiv military administration.
Another significant airstrike on the capital, Popko declared.
Moreover, Russian fire reportedly damaged a “critical infrastructure” in the city of Lviv, which has a population of around 700,000 and is 70 kilometers (43 miles) from the border with NATO member Poland.
There were none, according to preliminary accounts.
Southeast Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region’s military administrator, Yuriy Malashko, claimed on the messaging service Telegram that Russia’s raid targeted agricultural and farming facilities as well as telecommunications infrastructure.
In Zaporizhzhia, no fatalities were reported.
According to early reports, furthermore, Russia attacked Zaporizhzhia with seven missiles, according to the highest military command.
However, Reuters could not independently confirm the reports. Russia did not provide a quick response.
