Quote: “Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk oblasts have been attacked. The enemy used surface-to-surface missiles from Voronezh and Rostov oblasts: an Iskander-K cruise missile and an Iskander-M ballistic missile; six Kh-59/Kh-69 air-to-surface missiles were launched from the airspace of Kursk and Belgorod oblasts.

Most of the missiles failed to reach their targets due to active countermeasures by Ukraine’s defence forces.”

Details: In addition, Russian forces launched 9 Shahed-type loitering munitions from Cape Chauda in occupied Crimea.

Eight Shaheds were shot down by mobile fire groups in Mykolaiv Oblast.
