According to military data, the occupiers launched approximately 90 attack “shahids,” as well as Gerbera drones and other UAVs from Russian territory and temporarily occupied Crimea, including from the areas of Millerovo, Kursk, Orel, Primorsko-Akhtarsky, and Gvardeysky.<\/p>\n

The air attack was repelled by aircraft, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units, unmanned aerial systems, and mobile fire teams. As of 8:30 AM, air defenses had shot down or suppressed 60 drones in the north, south, and east of the country.<\/p>\n
