Ukraine intercepts 46 Shahed drones in massive overnight attack

Additionally, 24 decoy drones were lost without causing any damage, according to the Air Force.

The drones were launched from multiple locations in Russia, including Millerovo, Orel, Kursk, Bryansk, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk.

The air assault was countered by aviation, anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups from Ukraine’s Air Force and Defense Forces.

Air defense systems were active in Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, and Mykolaiv oblasts.

Despite successful interceptions, debris from downed drones damaged private homes in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Cherkasy oblasts.

The overnight attack triggered air raid alerts across several regions as Russian forces launched waves of kamikaze drones against Ukraine.
