Russian forces attacked Ukraine with a Kh-31P guided aerial missile and 121 strike and decoy drones overnight, Ukraine's Air Force reported on Sept. 4.
As of 9:30 a.m., Ukrainian air defense neutralized 103 enemy uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) across the country's northern, southern, eastern, and central oblasts.
Military officials confirmed direct impacts across 15 separate locations, alongside falling wreckage from intercepted targets recorded in six areas.
The military cautioned that the aerial engagement remains active, with Russian UAVs continuing to loiter in domestic airspace.
Early on Sept. 4, Russian forces struck Odesa with drones, leaving one civilian dead and three others injured while inflicting damage on residential houses and civilian cars.
On Sept.
Kyiv is enduring its ninth consecutive day of sustained Russian jet-powered Shahed assaults. Air raid sirens sounded seven times across the capital on Sept. 3 alone, with additional structural damage to warehouses confirmed across Kyiv Oblast.
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.
