The occupiers launched 55 strike unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Shahed type and various types of imitation drones.
According to the Telegram channel of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), 34 enemy drones have been successfully destroyed.
The drones were launched from the directions of Russian cities Millerovo, Oryol, Bryansk, and Primorsk-Akhtarsk.
As of 9 AM, the destruction of 34 UAVs has been confirmed in Kyiv, Poltava, Cherkasy, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and several other regions.
Several drones fell into a farm in Cherkasy region, with debris damaging private homes in Kharkiv and Poltava regions.
18 imitation drones were lost locationally without any negative consequences.
Military expert, reserve major of the AFU, Alexey Hetman, shared his opinion.
According to him, there are signs of the occupiers preparing for an aerial attack, but this does not necessarily mean that they will take place.
Hetman added that Russia needs about a month between attacks to produce the necessary number of missiles for a mass strike.
Therefore, if there are no two months of aerial attacks, the occupiers may launch more missiles or conduct two attacks with a few days' interval.
