Russian forces launched six missiles of various types and 62 attack drones at Ukraine overnight into Monday, with Ukraine’s air defenses shooting down or suppressing two Zircon anti-ship missiles and 52 drones, the Ukrainian Air Force reported.
The assault, which began after 6 p.m. on Sunday and continued until morning, included:
- Four Zircon anti-ship missiles fired from temporarily occupied Crimea;
- One Iskander-M ballistic missile from Russia’s Bryansk Oblast;

Ukraine’s defenses — involving fighter aircraft, surface-to-air missile units, electronic warfare teams, unmanned systems units, and mobile fire groups — countered the attack.
