On the night of December 6, Russia again attacked critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, using strike drones, air, sea, and ground-based missiles. This was reported by the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine via the 'Glavkom' portal.


According to data from the radio technical troops, 704 aerial attack means were detected and destroyed, including 51 missiles and 653 varieties of drones.



  • 653 strike drones of various types were launched from five different regions of Russia;

  • three X-47M2 'Kinjals' missiles were also used;

  • their attack included 34 cruise missiles and 14 ballistic missiles.


Ukrainian forces repelled the attack, shooting down or neutralizing 615 aerial targets, including 585 drones and missiles. The attack is ongoing, but Ukraine remains vigilant, urging citizens to adhere to safety rules.


Previous attacks by Russia


It is noted that the day before, Russian terrorists launched a massive strike on Ukrainian territory, shelling Lutsk, Lviv region, Chernihiv region, Kyiv region, and Odesa region. The energy infrastructure of the country was also attacked.



Ukraine remains under heightened control due to a new significant attack from Russia. There is an increased level of tension and readiness on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which managed to repel a significant number of enemy targets. The situation is complicated by the fact that this is not the first such incident in recent weeks, filled with threats to the safety of Ukraine and its peaceful population.
