26 injured across Ukraine as Russian missiles and drones strike Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Chernihiv oblasts
Russian forces launched 546 aerial weapons — 22 missiles and 524 drones — at Ukraine overnight into Monday, striking 34 locations across multiple regions and injuring at least 28 people, Ukraine's Air Force Command reported.
The attack included 14 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles launched from Russia's Rostov Oblast and occupied Crimea, and eight Iskander-K cruise missiles from occupied Crimea.
wThe drone component consisted of Shahed, Gerbera and Italmas strike drones, as well as Parodiya decoy drones launched from Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, Millerovo and Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia, and from occupied Donetsk and Hvardiyske in Crimea.
As of 8:30 a.m., air defenses had intercepted or suppressed 507 targets — four cruise missiles and 503 drones of various types. However, 18 missiles and 16 strike drones hit 34 locations, while the wreckage of downed drones fell across 11 additional sites.
What are the consequences of the attacks?
