On the night of 9 September, Russia attacked Ukraine with three guided missiles and eight Shaheds. Air defence systems shot down two missiles and 6 drones. This was reported by the Ukrainian Air Force.

"As a result of the anti-aircraft battle, two X-59/69 guided missiles and 6 Shahed strike UAVs were shot down. Two enemy drones were lost on the territory of Ukraine (presumably they fell under the influence of electronic warfare)," the Air Force said.

Also, as a result of active countermeasures, one of the X-59/69 missiles did not reach its target. 

Air defences were operating in Kyiv, Cherkasy, Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk Regions.
