Russia launched 60 drones against Ukraine in an overnight attack, a decrease from the hundreds it launched during the weekend, Ukraine’s air force said today.

The air force said that 43 drones had been neutralised, with 35 shot down and eight redirected by electronic warfare.

Russia had launched more than 900 drone attacks against Ukraine over three nights, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said yesterday.

The attacks injured three people in the European country’s south and southeast, Ukrainian officials said.

Two people were injured in the Dnipropetrovsk region, Governor Serhiy Lysak said.

“Air defence forces were working during the night in the Dnipropetrovsk,” he said on the Telegram messaging app, adding that five drones had been shot down over the region.

The attack sparked a fire in a private house and an outbuilding in one district of the region and destroyed an agricultural enterprise, a private house, and a car in another.

Nikopol district also came under FPV, artillery and drone attack, Lysak said.

A 59-year-old man was injured in a morning drone attack on the southern city of Kherson, the military administration said.

In the north eastern city of Sumy, a drone strike sparked a fire in a building of an industrial enterprise.

A later airstrike damaged at least seven private and one two-storey buildings and cars in another area, the military administration said. There were no casualties, it added.

Russia, which began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, did not immediately comment on the reports.
