Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles and 167 drones, including Shaheds, Gerberas and Parodiya decoys, Ukraine’s Air Force said on Sept. 5.
The Air Force said Ukrainian air defenses had neutralized 128 Russian drones as of 8:30 a.m.
The military recorded missile and attack drone strikes at 23 locations, while debris from intercepted targets fell at one other location. Some Russian weapons also failed to reach their targets, and information on them was still being verified.
The Air Force warned that the attack was ongoing, with Russian drones still in Ukrainian airspace.
Overnight on Sept. 5, Russian forces launched a ballistic missile strike on an industrial facility in Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, killing four people. Five others were injured, three of whom remain hospitalized.
In Boryspil, Kyiv Oblast, a Russian attack damaged a nine-story residential building, sparking fires on the roof and in one apartment. Two people were injured in the strike.
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.
