According to Reuters, the Russians sent a total of 32 drones. Ukrainian air defense managed to destroy approximately 25 Shaded unmanned aerial vehicles. This number was confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in its morning report.

At least five explosions were heard during the attacks. Ukrainian media recordings indicated that many cars parked on the streets were damaged, but most of the debris from the hit buildings fell on an open, undeveloped area.

War in Ukraine. Russian drone attacks

It recently came to light that Russian invaders have deployed another station to launch drones into Ukraine. The camp was to be built in occupied Crimea.

In August, the Washington Post reported that Russia intends to produce 6,000 attack drones by 2025 at the Alabuz factory in Tatarstan, and is making "some progress" in this regard.
