Russia launched 165 drones at Ukraine overnight: which regions were affected.

On the night of May 4, 2025, Ukraine was attacked by 165 Russian drones that mimicked other types of equipment. This was reported by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The drones were launched from various cities in Russia, including Bryansk, Kursk, Orel, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, and Primorsk.

Ukrainian aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare systems, and mobile fire teams of the defense forces halted the enemy's air attack.

"As of 09:00, the destruction of 69 Shahed-type drones (other types of drones) in the east, north, south, and center of the country has been confirmed."

Additionally, 80 imitation drones of the enemy were lost without negative consequences.

As a result of this attack, the settlements affected were: Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, and Kyiv regions.

It is worth remembering that Kyiv was also subjected to drone attacks.

As a result of these attacks, three districts in the capital were affected - Obolon, Sviatoshynsk, and Shevchenkivsk - which were destroyed and set on fire.

The most damage was recorded in the Obolon district. Houses were destroyed, and 11 people were injured. The Dream Town shopping mall and vehicles were also damaged.

In total, 11 people aged 14 to 70 were affected by Russian terror.

Analysis:

The attack of Russian drones on Ukraine occurred in the context of escalating conflict between the countries. The number of shot down and lost drones indicates active defensive activity on the part of Ukrainian forces. There were efforts to strike the enemy's technical means, but this came at a high cost - several districts and residents suffered, including destruction, fires, injuries, and deaths. The situation regarding possible future attacks and Ukraine's readiness for them remains uncertain. Russian aggression continues, and the country is under constant threat.
