Dnipropetrovsk Oblast withstood a night attack by the russians thanks to air defence forces, which eliminated 15 Shahed type drones and 4 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles in the sky. However, some of the objects struck the oblast.
This was announced by Serhiy Lysak, Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast State Administration.
As reported by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in total last night, the enemy attacked with 16 missiles of different types and 20 Shahed-136/131 strike drones.
Overall, the enemy launched:
- 4 Kh-101/Kh-555 air-launched cruise missiles from Tu-95MS strategic bombers from the Caspian Sea area;
- 5 Kh-22 cruise missiles from Tu-22M3 long-range bombers from different directions – the Sea of Azov and Kursk Oblast;
- 2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles from the territory of occupied Crimea;
- 5 S-300 surface-to-air guided missiles from the occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
- 20 Iranian Shahed-136/131 strike drones from the southern and northern directions.
According to Lysak, in Dnipro Rayon, a missile struck several buildings of a rescue unit. A 27-year-old man was injured; he is in hospital in a moderate condition.
Several buildings of the rescue unit are damaged. Two fires started, which have already been extinguished. More than 10 commercial and light vehicles were destroyed, the same number of special vehicles damaged, 25 private cars, and 2 buses were hit.

Fragments of UAVs and a missile were found in the Ilarionove community of Synelnykove Rayon – three private houses and nine high-rise buildings, a kindergarten, shops and administrative buildings were damaged. Six cars were smashed.
"Fascists. Terrorists. Inhumans. But thanks to the defence forces, we withstood the attack," Lysak wrote.
