Russia attacked large parts of the country
“For the second consecutive night, our sky protectors eliminated all five enemy ‘shahed’ (drones, note) that were over the area,” said the military governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region around the city of Dnipro, Valentyn Resnichenko, in his Telegram channel com. As a result, there were attacks in three different counties. According to Task Force East of the Ukrainian Army, all attack drones were also destroyed in the neighboring region of Zaporizhia.
Just yesterday, Russia launched another heavy missile attack to cripple Ukraine’s critical energy supply infrastructure. Since October, Moscow has used this tactic to target the war-weary population of the neighboring country.
