Ukraine Russia, explosions at night in Odessa and Kherson. LIVE

Last night, Russian forces launched 46 kamikaze attack drones of the “Shahed” type on the territory of Ukraine, 32 of which were destroyed by the air defense forces: this is what the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces writes in its morning briefing, which was quoted by the media Ukrinform. After departing again from Balaklava in Crimea and from Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia's Krasnodar Region (RF), the drones took off “in successive waves between 7 p.m. yesterday (6 p.m. Italian time) and today 3.50 a.m. (2.50 a.m. Italian time).” Most were aimed at frontline areas, particularly over Kherson, where a crowd at the train station was attacked and a police officer died. Many of the drones that were not shot down “fell without consequences,” the Air Force emphasized. The regions of Mykolaiv, Odessa, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhia, Khmelnytskyi and Kirovohrad were in the Russian sights, Kiev writes.
