Russia uses new tactics as it employs ‘complex routing’ in latest ‘quite powerful’ mass drone attack on Ukraine
The Russian military launched a massive kamikaze drone attack on Ukraine overnight on Sept. 29-30.
Ukraine’s air defense forces intercepted 30 Iranian-made drones over three regions:
- 20 in Vinnytsia Oblast
- 6 in Odesa Oblast
- 4 in Mykolayiv Oblast
The attack was "quite powerful" as Russians again launched suicide drones at southern Odesa Oblast, using "complex routing," said Natalia Humeniuk, a spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces.
"In particular, by maneuvering, [the drones] tried to bypass the air defense systems in order to enter not only the southern but also the central regions of Ukraine," she said.
The targets of the aggressor remain the Danube and port infrastructure, whose damage could affect the region's economy, she said.
At night, several regions of Ukraine were under air raid alert due to Russia's launch of groups of attack drones. In Vinnytsia Oblast, an infrastructure facility was hit. In one of the villages near the town of Kalynivka, an evacuation was considered.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
