"In the early hours of Thursday, June 6, 2024, Russia attacked Dnipropetrovsk region with two Iskander-M ballistic missiles ... and 18 Shahed-type UAVs," the Ukrainian air force said on Thursday morning.
"Seventeen one-way attack UAVs were shot down over the Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Khmelnytskyi regions," it added, as cited by state news agency Ukrinform.
The Russian attack caused a fire at an infrastructure facility in the Khmelnytskyi region, where one drone was shot down, the regional governor said, as cited by the Reuters news agency.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, starting the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
Thursday is day 834 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
