Ukraine’s air force said that it had shot down 13 of 14 drones launched by Russia in an overnight attack on three regions.
Debris from the drones fell on energy infrastructure in Ukraine’s northwestern Rivne region, governor Oleksandr Koval said on messaging platform Telegram. The attack triggered a defense mechanism that cut power to some localities. It has since been restored.
Drone debris also damaged power lines in the central Kirovohrad region, its governor said adding that repairs were underway.
The air force shot down 11 drones over the Mykolaiv region, but the local governor gave no details of the damage.
Meanwhile, Veniamin Kondratyev, the governor of Russia’s southern Krasnodar region, said on Telegram that Russian air defenses destroyed a Ukrainian drone over the city of Armavir.
