Ukraine’s air defense forces have shot down 249 of the 272 drones that Russian troops have launched into the country’s territory since the evening of June 5.
Since the evening, Russian troops have carried out nearly 30 attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region, using drones and artillery. As a result of the shelling, one person was killed and three others were wounded.
Authorities in Zaporizhzhia reported a new type of attack in which a Russian “Shahed” drone allegedly delivers FPV drones directly to the city center and drops them on civilian targets. Officials report a change in the enemy’s tactics and an increased threat to the city.
