Aukrainian defenses neutralized during the night 81 of the 96 drones launched by the Russian forces against the territory of the country, announced today the Ukrainian air force.
The same source required 61 of the drones to be jet-powered Shahed and the rest to be Gerbera-type attack drones and Parodia-type replica drones designed to overload the opponent's defenses.
According to preliminary information, 81 unmanned devices could be killed or neutralized by other means, the Ukrainian military said in a war bulletin quoted by the Spanish EFE.
However, there were impacts at eight unspecified sites and, at two points in the country, fragments of drones fell.
The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, said on social media that drone fragments fell in the Holosivski area, without causing injuries.
In the Vyshhorod area, the attacks caused a fire in warehouses, the Kiev Military Administration announced.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 to “demilitarize and de-nazify” the neighbouring country, as then announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The invasion sparked an armed conflict with hundreds of thousands of dead who have been considered the most deadly in Europe since World War II (1939–1945).
Russia had already invaded Ukraine in 2014, when it annexed the Crimean peninsula.
Ukraine was a republic of the Soviet Union from the founding of the Communist bloc controlled by Moscow in 1922 until its dissolution in 1991.
