KYIV (Reuters) – Russia launched 25 drone attacks on Ukraine overnight, killing one person and damaging a warehouse and farm equipment, the Ukrainian military said on Friday, adding that it had downed 18 of the drones, all but two of them in southern Ukraine.
One civilian was killed and another injured in attacks on the southern Kherson region, where a culture centre was damaged, Ukraine’s Southern Military Command said on the Telegram messenger app.
In the neighbouring region of Mykolaiv, a warehouse, a hangar and agricultural machinery were damaged, it said.
The Ukrainian Air Force said the drones had been launched from southwestern Russia and Russian-occupied Crimea, as well as two missiles from the occupied part of Kherson region. It added that one of those missiles had been destroyed.
