Ukraine: We shot down 11 Russian drones overnight

Russia launched fourteen attack drones and five missiles into Ukraine overnight, Ukraine's air force said on January 25, adding that eleven of them were shot down.

The port city of Odesa was attacked twice by Russian drones overnight, regional governor Oleh Kiper said on Telegram.

Russia also targeted Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, with five S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles, the air defense said.

Kiper said on Telegram that two people were injured during the attack in the Black Sea port city.

"Despite the effective work of the air defense to repel enemy attacks, unfortunately, an industrial facility was hit in Odesa and residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were damaged," Kiper said.

There was no immediate comment from Russia.

In recent weeks, Russia has intensified its missile attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine, causing numerous deaths, injuries and property damage.

According to Ukrainian officials, between December 29, 2023 and January 2, 2024 alone, Russia launched more than 500 Iranian-made drones into Ukrainian cities.

This wave of attacks has increased pressure on Ukraine's air defense capabilities and ammunition reserves, for which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has increased calls to allies to help Kiev.

The war in Ukraine started on February 24, 2022.

As a result of the war, thousands of people have died and millions more have been displaced from their homes.

The West has responded to Russia, hitting the economy of this country with harsh sanctions./ REL
