Overnight into Wednesday, May 29, Ukrainian air defense shot down almost all of the enemy's Shahed-type attack drones, which the russian occupiers used for another air attack.

The commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, reported this on Telegram.

He noted that in total, that night, the enemy launched 14 Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones over Ukraine and launched them from the area of russian Primorsko-Akhtarsk.

According to the general, the following were involved in repelling the enemy's air attack:

Enemy attack UAVs were eliminated within three regions.

"As a result of anti-aircraft combat, 13 Shaheds were shot down in the Mykolayiv, Kirovohrad, and Rivne Regions," Oleschuk said.
