The evening and early morning of Saturday brought a new wave of tension to Ukraine’s borders — Russian forces have again intensified their tactics by deploying attack drones for strikes on Ukrainian territory
According to official sources, starting in the evening, movement of enemy UAVs was observed in several regions, and the air defense forces were put on high alert to intercept the hostile drones and prevent widespread destruction and casualties. Reports from headquarters indicate that the main region where enemy activity was recorded is Kyiv Oblast. The Kyiv Regional Military Administration confirmed: *"Kyiv region! Movement of enemy UAVs detected! Air defense forces are operating in the area."* These words testify that Ukrainian military personnel are doing everything possible to intercept and destroy dangerous drones attempting to penetrate Ukraine’s airspace and cause damage to infrastructure or residential areas. At 11 p.m., an air raid alert was declared in Kyiv — another warning signal for residents of the capital and suburbs. This confirms that the enemy continues to escalate its efforts and persistently executes missions aimed at destabilizing the situation in the country. In addition to Kyiv, several other regions experienced increased activity on Saturday evening. Reports from the Ukrainian Air Force mentioned the movement of drones in Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk regions. This indicates a change in the enemy’s tactics, as they attempt to target multiple key economic, industrial, and strategic sites, employing a loosely coordinated attack strategy to exert maximum psychological and physical pressure on Ukrainian society and forces. It should be noted that Ukrainian air defense forces are actively responding to these challenges, doing everything possible to minimize potential damage and maintain public safety. Despite the high levels of tension, the situation remains under control, and Ukrainian military units continue their efforts to prevent large-scale accidents and destruction. This nocturnal activity serves as yet another confirmation that the enemy is not abandoning its pressure tactics and is employing new strategic approaches in its war against Ukraine. Authorities and military structures urge citizens to remain calm and trust in Ukraine’s defense systems, as every effort is focused on protecting the country and its citizens from further aggression.
