Air defense units were activated across the region. Enemy targets were destroyed, Kravchenko noted.

Response teams scrambled to tackle the consequences of the Russian attack.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Ukraine’s Defense Forces shot down 31 Russian kamikaze drones in the early hours of Sunday, October 13, while 36 Russian drones disappeared from radars, likely crashing in various regions of Ukraine due to e-warfare interference.
