During the early hours of Sunday, the Russian military attacked Ukraine with a total of 83 Shahed drones, alongside various imitation drones, according to reports from the Ukrainian Air Forces. The Ukrainian army successfully intercepted or neutralized 55 of these Russian drones using electronic warfare measures. However, the still-operating drones managed to attack 12 different localities, while debris from the destroyed drones caused damage in an additional three areas.

The Russian strikes have had a tragic impact in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions, where two individuals lost their lives, and seven others were injured, including a child. The incident underscores the ongoing intensity of the conflict as Russia continues its military operations against Ukraine. The use of drones has become a significant tactic in modern warfare, raising concerns over the persistent threat to civilian populations in the affected regions.

This latest wave of attacks not only highlights the continued hostilities but also points to the capability of the Ukrainian air defenses in mitigating some of the damage. The situation remains critical as Ukraine navigates these assaults while seeking to protect its citizens and infrastructure from ongoing aerial threats, further complicating diplomatic resolutions to the conflict.
