Russian forces launched 110 Shahed, Gerbera, Italmas, and other types of attack drones at Ukraine overnight from six locations in Russia and temporarily occupied territories, the Air Force reported on Telegram on April 7.
As of the morning, Ukrainian air defenses, aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems, and mobile fire groups had shot down or suppressed 77 of the drones across the north, south, and east of the country.
Thirty-one of the enemy drones targeted 14 sites across Ukraine. Nine other sites reported damage
The assault is ongoing with several Russian drones remaining in Ukrainian airspace.
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.
