On Friday, Ukraine shot down 10 Russian missiles and 20 drones that attacked Kyiv, Dnipro, and eastern areas overnight.
Russia has boosted missile and drone attacks on Ukraine this month, targeting logistics and infrastructure before a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Ukrainian jets downed 10 Caspian Sea missiles, 23 Iranian Shahed drones, and two observation drones.
Seventeen missiles and 31 drones were launched from 10:00 p.m. (1900 GMT) to 5:00 a.m. on Friday.
Officials said drones and missiles hit Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk. No deaths were recorded immediately.
“It was a tough night.”It was loud—the enemy launched a mass attack with missiles and drones,” Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Serhiy Lysak said on Telegram. “Dnipro has suffered.”
A transport company and a petrol station were damaged, according to Lysak.
Kyiv officials reported damage to a shopping complex roof, a private house, and many cars. The Kharkiv governor also reported damage to residential houses and industrial buildings.
Since October, Russia has launched hundreds of missiles at critical infrastructure and electricity plants.
Military officials believe missile strikes are targeting Ukrainian response plans.
