This time, the drones flew from the following directions: Millerovo, Kursk, Bryansk, Orel, Primorsko-Akhtarsk — the Russian Federation, as well as from Gvardiyske, Chaudy — TOT Crimea.

What is important to understand is that about 100 of them are "shaheeds."

The air attack was repelled by aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare and unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

According to preliminary data, as of 09:00, air defenses shot down/suppressed 154 enemy Shahed, Gerbera UAVs and drones of other types in the north, south, east, and center of the country.

22 strike UAVs were hit at 11 locations.
