Ukrainian air defense shot down one guided missile and 38 Shahed drones with which Russian troops attacked on Tuesday night, the Air Force reports.

"As a result of the air battle, 38 attack UAVs were shot down," the report says.

It is noted that on the night of September 10, the occupiers launched an attack with an Iskander-M ballistic missile from occupied Crimea, a X-31P anti-radar missile from the airspace over the Black Sea, and 46 Shahed-type attack UAVs (launch areas: Kursk, Yeisk - Russia). In total, the Air Force escorted 48 air attack assets.

The command emphasized that the enemy air attack was repelled by anti-aircraft missile troops, mobile fire groups and electronic warfare units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, three drones left the controlled airspace of Ukraine, one in the direction of Russia, two in the direction of occupied Luhansk region. Three more enemy UAVs were locally lost on the territory of Ukraine (presumably fell under the influence of electronic warfare assets).

Air defense operated in Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kherson, Cherkasy, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia and Poltava regions.
