Ukrainian air defense shoots down 36 Russian drones, mostly over Odesa and Kyiv oblasts
Russia launched 63 attack drones, including Shahed UAVs and
another unidentified type, in strikes on Ukraine early on Oct. 25, according to
the Ukrainian Armed Forces Air Command. Ukrainian air defenses downed 36
drones.
The drones were launched from Russia’s Orel, Kursk, and
Primorsko-Akhtarsk regions. Air defense operated across 12 oblasts, including
Odesa, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr,
Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, Lviv, Rivne, and Poltava.
Most Russian targets were shot down over Odesa and Kyiv
oblasts, the report noted.
Sixteen drones lost location signals.
During the attack, explosions were reported in Kyiv and
surrounding areas. Falling debris ignited fires in open areas in the capital,
where air defense units intercepted about 15 drones. Defense operations were
also reported in Lviv 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.
