Ukraine Downs 28 Drones, 4 Missiles in Russian Attack

Ukrainian air force have reported early Wednesday that it successfully intercepted 28 out of 32 drones and neutralized four of eight missiles during a night-time Russian offensive.

According to the air force, Russia launched a barrage of missiles targeting the southern region of Odesa.

Regional governor Oleh Kiper stated that one missile struck an open area, igniting a fire that has since been extinguished.

He added that the resulting debris damaged two trucks but fortunately caused no casualties. “The fire has been contained, and no one was hurt,” Kiper shared on the Telegram messaging app.

In the Kyiv region, governor Ruslan Kravchenko confirmed that a drone attack occurred but reported no damage to critical or residential infrastructure.

Meanwhile, in the northeastern region of Kharkiv, a hangar sustained damage from attacks early Wednesday.

This comes after a devastating guided bomb strike on the city of Kharkiv on Tuesday, which left three people dead and 36 others injured.

“Three lives were tragically lost, and 36 were injured in yesterday’s attack,” regional governor Oleh Syniehubov reported via Telegram.

Despite the ongoing conflict, Russia continues to deny that its military actions target civilians, even though thousands have been killed since the full-scale invasion began more than two and a half years ago.
