Ukrainian defenders down Kinzhal, 115 drones in Russian overnight assault
Russian forces unleashed three Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles, four Iskander-M ballistic missiles, five S-300/S-400 anti-aircraft missiles and 138 strike drones — including 80 Shahed types — against Ukraine overnight into Monday, the Air Force reported.
Ukrainian aviation, anti-aircraft missile units, electronic warfare teams, drone operators and mobile fire groups countered the assault.
As of 8:30 a.m., air defenses downed or jammed one Kinzhal and 115 Russian drones across the north, south and east.
Hits from missiles and 20 strike drones were recorded at 11 sites.
In Mykolaiv Oblast, Shahed drones targeted energy infrastructure, the regional military administration said, causing temporary blackouts in 12 municipalities.
A drone also struck the regional capital, igniting a hardware supermarket and damaging an auto service center, two vehicles and windows in an apartment building.
In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Russian missiles hit a business, sparking a fire that was extinguished; a 37-year-old man was wounded and will recover at home, the administration said.
