Russian terrorists launched another massive air and missile attack on Ukraine overnight Tuesday. According to preliminary information, 28 out of 30 enemy Shahed UAVs were destroyed.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"Russian terrorists launched another massive air and missile attack on Ukraine overnight. According to preliminary information, 28 out of 30 Shaheds launched by the enemy were destroyed. Also, 7 S-300 missiles were used by the occupiers to attack Zaporizhzhia and its surroundings - the information is being verified,” the report says.

Yesterday, the enemy used four Kalibr cruise missiles and four Iranian-made attack UAVs Shahed-136/131. All eight air targets were shot down, the General Staff noted.

In addition, the Russians launched more than 45 air strikes, carried out about 70 attacks using multiple launch rocket systems on the positions of Ukrainian troops and populated areas. Civilians were injured in Russian attacks.

The probability of further missile attacks and air strikes across Ukraine remains high, the General Staff warned.

As reported, last night in the capital and many regions across Ukraine, air raid sirens went off due to the launch of kamikaze drones from the territory of Russia.
