According to President Zelenskyy: “In the first half of September alone, Russian terrorists used over 640 “Shahed” drones against Ukrainian cities and villages.
Fortunately, most of them were shot down by our warriors. We are continuously working to make Ukraine’s air shield more effective, strengthening our Air Force, mobile fire groups, and all air defense units.
Last night, the Russian army launched 56 “Shahed” drones, 53 of which were shot down. Our defenders of the skies worked effectively across many regions. I thank each and every warrior for their precision.”
