According to preliminary information, Ukraine’s air defence systems shot down all the Iranian-made Shahed drones Russia launched before they reached their targets, Popko said. There was no immediate information about damage or casualties. Reuters’ witnesses in Kyiv heard blasts resembling the sound of air defence systems intercepting targets during the air raid.
