“According to preliminary data, as of 08:30, anti-aircraft defense shot down/suppressed 53 enemy UAVs. 19 strike UAVs were hit at nine locations, as well as downed (debris) UAVs fell at one location,” the Ukrainian military informs, adding that the attack continues, “there are several enemy UAVs in the airspace.”
The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
