In a recent nighttime operation, Russian forces attempted to breach Ukraine's defenses using Shahed-136 kamikaze drones, targeting the Kharkiv region.

The Air Force Command's press service reported that the attackers launched four drones in an aggressive maneuver.

However, Ukraine's vigilant air defense forces successfully intercepted and shot down all incoming drones, ensuring the safety of the region.

The drones were dispatched from the Belgorod region, marking yet another effort by the Russian invaders to compromise Ukrainian territory.

This attack follows a pattern of aggression towards civilian objects and infrastructure in various regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, Khmelnytskyi, and Poltava.

Additionally, a rocket attack in Lviv on February 15 resulted in injuries and destruction.
