The Ukrainian army revealed that "air defense repelled a new Russian air attack early on Friday morning, resulting in the destruction of 19 out of 28 drones and missiles launched." Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat stated on Ukrainian television that "three missiles were fired from the Black Sea, and 16 drones were shot down, with not all targets hit." Russia has increased the number of missile and drone attacks this month, which Kyiv attributes to Moscow's concerns over a potentially anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive. Ukrainian authorities have not reported any damage to critical infrastructure or military installations.
