According to the Air Force, Russia launched the drones from Orel, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Kursk and Yeysk in Russia.
Around 08.20, Russians launched three X-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles from three MiG-31K aircraft from the airspace of Tambov Region (the airfield of departure was Savasleyka).
In total, the Air Force's radio engineering troops detected and tracked more than 80 air targets.
The air attack was repelled by anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units and mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian Air Force and Defence Forces.
As a result of the air battle, two X-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles were confirmed downed in Kyiv Region and 32 Russian strike UAVs in Mykolayiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava and Kharkiv Regions.
Several hits by Russian drones were recorded in the frontline Kharkiv Region. One of the three Kinzhals hit near the Starokostyantyniv airfield in Khmelnytskyy Region.
