Ukrainian air defence downs or suppresses 115 of 165 Russian drones
In the night of 20 October, Ukraine's air defence destroyed or suppressed 115 of 165 Russian drones. Another 20 were still in the air.
In the night of 20 October, Ukraine's air defence destroyed or suppressed 115 of the 165 drones that Russia launched in an attack, according to a report by the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda. Russia sends such drones against Ukraine in the war it has waged since its full-scale invasion.
The source names Shahed and Gerbera drones among the types used, along with others. Ukraine's air defence reports not only drones shot down but also those "suppressed", meaning drones that were prevented from reaching their targets by technical means.
The headline of the report states that 20 Russian drones were still in the air at the time the information was published. The source gives no details on which regions the drones flew over, or on any damage, injuries or deaths.
No further information about the consequences of the attack is available for now. The figures on the air defence results may be updated once full data on the overnight attack has been compiled.
