Ukrainian Navy shot down three kamikaze drones during a night attack by the Russians
On the night of June 28-29, Ukrainian defense forces successfully destroyed three SHAHED-136 drones, which Russian occupiers attempted to use for a massive air strike against Ukraine. This information was published on the official Telegram channel of the Ukrainian Navy, highlighting the high combat readiness and coordination among various Ukrainian defense units. According to military sailors, through joint efforts with other branches of Ukraine’s Defense Forces, they were able to effectively neutralize several enemy unmanned aerial vehicles during the night. Although specific locations of the drone destruction are not disclosed, it is known that on this night, air raid alerts were declared in various regions of Ukraine, with the main attack direction being Mykolaiv. This indicates that Russian forces aimed to inflict maximum damage on the southern and central regions of the country. According to Ukrainian military sources, naval aviation is also actively involved in combating aerial targets. It is capable of operating not only over coastal territories but also much further from the shoreline. This provides a strong defense for Ukraine and complicates the enemy’s plans to deliver strategic strikes from the air. Ukraine’s advanced armed forces continue to fight against new aerial threats, systematically destroying enemy drones. It is worth emphasizing that on the same day, June 29, Russian troops launched massive strikes on Ukrainian cities using missile and drone missile systems, including "Kinzhal," "Calibre," and kamikaze drones. Victims included Kremenchuk, Poltava, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, and Lviv region, once again confirming the scale and targeted nature of Russia’s aggression against the Ukrainian population and infrastructure. Overall, Ukrainian defenders demonstrate high mobility and the ability to counter complex challenges, actively destroying enemy targets in the air, on the ground, and at sea. Such successes and the coordinated work of all defense components undoubtedly strengthen the country’s defense capacity and serve as a reliable safeguard against further aggressive actions by the occupiers from Russia.
