Russian forces launched 136 attack drones into Ukrainian territory, according to Ukrainian military officials. The bulk of the drones were intercepted, but the barrage still strained air-defense systems tasked with protecting critical infrastructure.
The assault targeted multiple regions, including the Chernihiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv areas, with Ukraine’s energy ministry reporting damage to power-supply installations and several thousand homes losing electricity. Restoration work began immediately under challenging conditions.
Officials reported that around 106 of the drones were destroyed or rendered inoperative by air defense and electronic warfare units — leaving about 30 that either hit targets or remain unaccounted for. Authorities warned of ongoing power-capacity restrictions and advised residents to stay alert.
