He stated that there were no casualties.
An air raid alert was issued in Kropyvnytskyi at 7:07 p.m. on June 28, with explosions ringing out across the city shortly after at 7:32 p.m.

Russian forces launched 108 Shahed, Gerbera, Italmaz, and Banderol UAVs, along with Parodiya decoy drones, against Ukraine overnight on June 29, the Air Force reported.
Ukrainian air defense shot down or neutralized 82 enemy UAVs in the north, south, and east. 25 UAVs made impact at 11 locations, with debris from shot-down targets falling in four locations.
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.
