Russia continued its drone attacks on Ukraine on Friday night. According to Ukrainian information, anti-aircraft defenses managed to repel the attacks.


According to officials, Ukrainian air defense repelled drone attacks in and around Kyiv and the east of the country on Friday night. “Russia has again targeted our infrastructure objects,” Oleksiy Kuleba, the military governor of the Kyiv region, said on his Telegram channel on Friday. According to him, air defense shot down unmanned aerial vehicles. There was no damage.

The city government in Kiev also reported the largely moderate course of the night offensive in the Ukrainian war. Five drones were shot down over the capital. An administration building was partially destroyed and windows of a residential building were damaged. There were no reports of deaths or injuries.

“For the second night in a row, our sky guards eliminated five hostile ‘Shahed’ (drones) over the area,” Valentyn Resnichenko, military governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region around the city of Dnipro, said on his Telegram channel. .

Accordingly, attacks took place in three different districts. All attacking drones in the neighboring Zaporizhia region were also destroyed, according to the Ukrainian Army Eastern Task Force.

Russian drone strikes early Thursday

Russia launched another major rocket attack only on Thursday in an attempt to paralyze critical infrastructure for Ukraine’s energy supply. Since October, Moscow has been using this tactic to shoot at the war-weary population of the neighboring country.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there were power outages in most regions. “But it was nothing compared to what would have happened without our heroic anti-aircraft and air defense forces,” he said in a video address Thursday night.
