Russia-Ukraine War: Moscow again targeted Ukraine, and fired 35 drones; Kyiv destroyed 32.
Ukrainian air defenses shot down 32 of 35 Shahid explosive drones fired from Russia’s Bryansk region and the Sea of Azov early Tuesday.
According to officials, most of the drones were shot down in the Kyiv region. The Russian military targeted the area around the Ukrainian capital in a drone strike that lasted nearly three hours.
The attack, which came under widespread bombardment of Ukrainian territories, also included the Lviv region near Poland in the west of the country.
Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuri Ihnat said that Shahed drones reached Lviv due to the inability of the air defense system to protect such a large area.
According to Lviv Governor Maxim Kojitsky, Russia targeted a vital infrastructure in the region, causing the fire.
Russia-Ukraine War: Russia said, we will give a befitting reply if US-British missiles are used.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Ukraine plans to use American and British missiles to attack Russian-controlled Crimea.
He warned that if this happens, Moscow will give a befitting reply. Russia annexed the Ukrainian-controlled Crimea in 2014.
