Russia launched a group of Iranian-designed Shahed-type drones against Ukraine on the evening of Dec. 3, leading to a risk of drone strikes in Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts, Ukraine's Air Force reported.

According to the Air Force's update at around 8:42 p.m. local time, the drones were moving from Kherson Oblast in the direction of Mykolaiv Oblast.

As of 9:26 p.m., Russian drones were moving in the direction of Kirovohrad Oblast, the Air Force reported.

Shahed drones have been repeatedly used by Russia since last fall, sometimes along with missiles, to target populated areas throughout Ukraine.
