Ukraine downs 24 of 27 Russian drones overnight
Twenty-four of 27 Shahed one-way attack drones launched from Russia’s Kursk Oblast and temporarily occupied Crimea were shot down overnight, Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk reported on Telegram on July 6.
The enemy drones were intercepted by anti-aircraft missile units, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare units over Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy, Chernihiv, Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, and Mykolaiv oblasts.
The night before, Ukrainian forces intercepted all 32 Russian-launched Shahed drones.
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.
