This afternoon, Russia carried out one of the largest air attacks on Ukraine, striking with over 550 drones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This<\/span> was reported by<\/span><\/a> the Air Force.<\/span><\/p>\n

From 9:00 to 18:00, 556 attack drones entered Ukrainian airspace. A large number of UAVs flew in from the North – Sumy and Chernihiv regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Poltava, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Vinnytsia regions, as well as the western regions \u2014 from Khmelnytskyi to Lviv \u2014 were hit by the Russian Federation. Hits were recorded in 15 locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of 6:00 p.m., the sky defenders had managed to neutralize 541 enemy UAVs. Manned aircraft, anti-aircraft drones, electronic warfare, and ground-based air defense were involved in repelling the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCombat work continues! The defenders of Ukrainian skies are doing everything possible to repel enemy air attacks as effectively as possible,\u201d the Air Force emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is worth noting that, including night strikes, Russia has sent more than a thousand drones into Ukraine since the evening of March 23.<\/p>\n

Earlier, an Air Force spokesman said that the drones moved in “columns,” and the geography of strikes during the day was wider<\/a> than at night.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, on the afternoon of March 24, Russian occupation forces attacked Lviv with the help of strike drones<\/a> , resulting in damage to people and a UNESCO site.<\/p>\n

By the way, as a result of a hostile attack by Shahed kamikaze drones in the center of Ivano-Frankivsk , two people were killed and four more were injured<\/a> .<\/p>\n
