Ukraine shot down four out of eight Shahed-type attack drones launched by Russia overnight on Jan. 28, the Air Force said in its morning update.

The drones were launched from Primorsko-Akhtarsk in southern Russia, off the coast of the Azov Sea. Russian forces also used Iskander-M ballistic missile to target Poltava Oblast. The missile was launched from Voronezh region.

Russian forces mainly targeted Poltava, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk obalsts in the latest attack.
