On the night of October 17, the Russian military attacked Ukraine with 70 attack UAVs, about 50 of which were “Shahedy”, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported.

“According to preliminary data, as of 09:00, air defense shot down/suppressed 35 enemy UAVs of the Shahed, Gerber and other types of drones in the north and east of the country,” the message reads.

According to the military, 31 strike UAVs were hit at 10 locations, as well as debris from downed drones at two locations.

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.
