Another 22 Russian imitation drones were “locationally lost” without negative consequences, the summary says. According to the Air Force, three of them flew in the direction of Russia, one – to Belarus.

The Air Force warned of the threat of drones in several regions of Ukraine during the night and morning of January 8. In particular, in the Kyiv region, the wreckage of a drone damaged a private house.

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.

Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes committed by the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are targeted.
