Defense forces shot down and neutralized 115 enemy aerial targets during a nighttime attack
On the night of July 5, Russian occupation forces carried out a massive air attack on Ukrainian territory, using guided air-to-ground missiles and more than a hundred attack drones of various types.
Thanks to the coordinated actions of Ukrainian defenders, 115 enemy targets were destroyed or neutralized, which helped minimize the consequences of yet another terrorist attack.
The attack began after 6:00 p.m. the previous day, when the enemy launched an X-31 anti-radar missile from the Black Sea and three X-59/69 guided air-to-ground missiles from the airspace of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region.
At the same time, the enemy launched 125 attack drones of the “Shahed,” “Gerbera,” and “Italmas” types, as well as “Parodia” decoy drones.
The launches were carried out from various strategic directions: the Bryansk and Oryol regions, Shatalovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, as well as from the occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast and Crimea.
The attack was repelled by the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups.
According to updated data as of 08:00, air defense forces successfully shot down or neutralized 112 enemy UAVs in the northern, southern, and eastern regions of the country.
In addition, three X-59/69 guided air-to-ground missiles were destroyed, and an X-31 anti-radar missile failed to reach its target due to effective countermeasures.
This was reported by the Ukrainian Air Force Command.
