Ukraine's Air Force reported that Russian forces targeted 19 locations with a mix of aerial strikes involving missiles and drones on the night of February 6-7.

On the night of February 6-7, Russian forces launched a coordinated attack on Ukraine employing 447 aerial assets, which included various missiles and drones. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that while 13 missiles and 21 attack UAVs successfully struck 19 locations, a significant number of these aerial threats were neutralized, with 14 of 21 Kh-101 cruise missiles and 382 UAVs being intercepted or jammed. This highlights the persistent aerial threat faced by Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict.

The areas chiefly affected by these strikes included Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, and Vinnytsia oblasts, regions that have seen increased military activity since the escalation of tensions. The Ukrainian authorities are assessing the damage caused by these attacks, particularly in regard to any civilian infrastructure that may have been hit. The aftermath of such strikes often leads to a heightened state of alert for emergency services as they deal with the repercussions and assist any affected citizens.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has emphasized the gravity of the situation, discussing the use of considerable aerial tactics by Russian forces, which compounds the challenges faced by the Ukrainian military and security forces.
