Colonel Natalia Gumenyuk, head of the Southern Defence Forces joint press centre, said the attack and combat work to repulse it lasted almost four hours.
Ukrainian defenders worked in different directions; the enemy launched drones from the waters of the Black Sea and, through the temporarily occupied territories, tried to bypass all possible Ukrainian means of protection.
It is evident that the enemy attacked power system facilities again, tried to damage industrial facilities as well, but insidiously directed drones through residential buildings, as a result of which a fire broke out in the private sector in the Zaporizhzhia direction due to falling debris.
