In the early hours of November 26, Russia once again attacked Ukraine, firing two Iskander-M ballistic missiles and launching around 90 drones. Most of the drones were successfully intercepted.

The Ukrainian Air Force reported that the drones included Shahed, Gerber, and other types, with roughly 55 identified as Shaheds. The missiles were launched from Russia’s Rostov region, while drones approached from directions including Kursk, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk (Russia), and Hvardiyke (Crimea).

Ukrainian forces, including aviation, missile units, electronic warfare teams, and mobile defense groups, managed to neutralize 72 enemy drones across the north, south, and east of the country. Reports confirmed impacts from missiles and 10 attack drones across 10 locations.

“The attack is ongoing. Several enemy UAVs remain in the air. Please follow safety rules,” the Air Force warned.
