Russia used three Kalibr cruise missiles and eight Iranian-made Shahed drones to attack Ukraine overnight, the Air Force reported on June 26. Two missiles and seven drones were shot down.

The missiles were fired from a submarine in the Black Sea, while the kamikaze drones were launched from the eastern coast of the Azov Sea, according to the Air Force.

According to Ukraine's Southern Command spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk, the two missiles and several drones were destroyed over Odesa Oblast.
