The russian occupation forces launched 10 Shaheds from the Balaklava District of Crimea over Ukraine. All ten were destroyed by the forces and means of the Air Force in cooperation with the air defense units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
It is noted that almost all enemy drones were shot down in the Odesa Region, in the area of responsibility of the South Air Command.
