According to the military, the Russians began their attack on the evening of April 9. In total, the enemy launched 128 drones of various types over Ukraine, including about 85 Shahed attack drones.

The launches were carried out from Russian territory – from the Orel, Millerovo, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk districts, as well as from temporarily occupied Crimea.
