Daily assaults by Moscow’s troops continue to batter towns and villages throughout Ukraine, causing civilian casualties and significant infrastructure damage through the use of drones, missiles, artillery fire, and aerial bombardments.
Ukraine’s Air Force revealed that it successfully intercepted 85 out of the 145 drones, both attack and decoy types, launched by Russia overnight.
Additionally, 49 drones vanished from radar screens without causing any known damage, the military said in a statement.
Mykolaiv, a city in southern Ukraine, endured multiple drone strikes overnight, leaving at least 10 individuals injured and damaging several residential buildings, as confirmed by Mykolaiv Oblast Governor Vitalii Kim.
“A 29-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man were hospitalized in stable condition, while the others received outpatient care,” Governor Kim reported.
