That’s according to the Air Force press service, Ukrinform reports.
From 22:00 on Friday, June 27, Russian invaders launched 23 Shahed attack UAVs and decoy drones of various types from Primorsko-Akhtarsk (Russian Federation) and Chauda (temporarily occupied Crimea).
Odesa was the main target of the attack, the report notes.
As of 09:00, the air defense had neutralized 22 enemy drones in southern Ukraine. Twenty-one of them were shot down and another one was suppressed by electronic warfare.
