Mykolaiv Governor Vitaliy Kim said Monday on Telegram that Russian drone attacks targeted energy infrastructure and disrupted electricity services.
Ukraine’s air force said Monday it shot down 71 of more than 140 Russian drones used in the latest string of overnight attacks.
“These Russian strikes on Ukrainian lives can be stopped—with pressure, with sanctions, by blocking the occupiers’ access to the components they use to manufacture the means of this terror, by providing arms packages for Ukraine, and with a determination that must be unwavering,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said Monday it shot down 23 Ukrainian drones in overnight attacks.
Russian air defenses downed eight of the drones over the Kaluga region, the ministry said, along with seven over Kursk, five over Bryansk and three over Belgorod.
Officials in Kaluga said falling drone wreckage damaged an industrial facility.
