On the night of 10 September 2024, Ukrainian air defence shot down 38 of the 46 Shaheeds launched by Russia.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force Command, three drones left the controlled airspace of Ukraine. One headed towards Russia and two towards the occupied Luhansk Region. Three more Russian UAVs were lost on the territory of Ukraine (presumably they fell under the influence of electronic warfare).
"The Air Force's radio engineering troops detected and escorted 48 air attack means," the Air Force said.
Russians also launched an Iskander-M ballistic missile from the occupied Crimea and an X-31P anti-aircraft missile from the airspace over the Black Sea. Shahed drones were launched from Kursk and Yeysk.
Air defences were deployed in Vinnytsya, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kirovohrad, Mykolayiv, Odesa, Kherson, Cherkasy, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya and Poltava Regions.
At night, the Russian army tried to attack Kyiv with drones. Drones flew at the capital from different directions in several groups. The defenders shot down all the Russian targets.
