Russian forces launched 165 Shahed, jet-powered Shahed, and Gerbera UAVs, along with Parodiya decoy drones, against Ukraine overnight on September 28, the Air Force reported.
As of 07:00 a.m., Ukrainian air defenses shot down or neutralized 112 enemy UAVs.
UAVs made impact at 14 locations with debris from shot-down targets falling in seven locations.
The Air Force warned that the Russian attack was still underway, with multiple enemy UAVs still in Ukrainian airspace.
Russia continued its days-long drone assault on Kyiv into the night of September 28, launching a strike that hit the Stolychnyi market in the capital's suburbs – killing two people and wounding nearly ten others.
The overnight attack on Kyiv also struck an apartment building, multiple office buildings, and a gas station in the Podilskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Obolonskyi districts, wounding three minors.
Russian guided aerial bombs targeted the Kyivskyi and Saltivskyi districts of Kharkiv overnight on September 28. One of the bombs hit a residential high-rise, wounding at least 25 people.
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.
