Sixty-one of the 82 Russian attack drones have been intercepted overnight, the Ukrainian Air Force reported on Telegram on Jan. 15.

Russian forces used Shahed, Gerbera, and Italmas drones, as well as jet-powered drones, in an air assault on Ukraine that began around 7:00 p.m. on Jan. 14. 

Launches were carried out from Russia’s Kursk, Orel, Bryansk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and Millerovo, as well as from temporarily occupied Crimea and Donetsk Oblast.

Ukrainian aviation, anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups repelled the air assault. 

Twenty-one drones targeted thirteen sites across Ukraine. Damage from drone debris was reported at three other sites.

Earlier, local authorities reported that a Russian drone had hit a playground near the Stepan Bandera monument in Lviv. In Kyiv’s Solomyanskyi district, debris from a drone struck a 15-story residential building.
