1 min read

Ukraine’s Eastern Command intercepted three drones over Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the oblast governor Serhiy Lysak reported.

According to the governor, two drones hit a critical infrastructure facility in Novomoskovsk, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The attack caused serious damage, he said.

Emergency services are working at the scene, the governor added.

Russia launched a drone attack against Ukraine late on March 17, with explosions already reported in Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, and Zhytomyr oblasts.

Ukraine’s Eastern Command said Russia used attack drones, “probably Shahed-131/136.”

The air raid alert is still on in many oblasts.
