On the night of February 27, air defense forces shot down nine enemy drones of the Shahed type in the sky over Kyiv city.

According to Serhii Popko, the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, "9 UAVs were shot down in the sky over Kyiv. According to preliminary assessment, the enemy used Shahed barrage ammunition. The drone attack was actually carried out in two waves, and it was extended as much as possible in time. Thus, the enemy tried to realize their tactical goal - to exhaust our air defenses. Therefore, the last night air alert in Kyiv lasted for five and a half hours.”
