Sharjah24 - Reuters: Nine out of ten Russian drones were shot down by Ukraine's air defenses overnight over the southern areas of Mykolayiv and Odesa, as well as near Zhytomyr in the country's center and in the Khmelnytskyi region in the west, the air force reported on Friday.
Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukrainian ports, including Odesa, and grain infrastructure since July when Moscow pulled out of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a wartime deal that enabled Ukraine's exports to reach African countries facing the threat of hunger.
The air force said in a statement that the Russian forces also launched several C-300 missiles during an overnight attack in the eastern Donetsk region, close to the frontline.
Reuters was not immediately able to independently confirm details of the damage.
