Russia attacked Ukraine last night with 38 shahed drones, the Ukrainian Air Force announced today, stating that 26 drones were shot down.

"It was registered that 38 shahed drones were dispatched," the air force said via Telegram in a daily report.

The statement added that 26 Iranian-made drones were destroyed.

The Odesa region is among the areas that were targeted by Russian forces last night, and the port of Izmail was especially targeted. The attack lasted two hours, regional governor Oleg Kiper wrote via Telegram, adding that most of the drones were shot down.

"Unfortunately, port infrastructure was affected in Izmail district," he said, adding that two truck drivers were wounded. According to him, the checkpoint, warehouses and about thirty trucks were damaged.

The river port of Izmail, located on the Danube on the border with Romania, has become one of the main routes for the export of Ukrainian agricultural goods since Russia withdrew in July from the grain agreement that allowed free transit of those products during the previous year.

Since then, Russian attacks on the southern regions of Odessa and Mykolaiv have increased.

Tonight's new attack followed yesterday's extensive attack by Russian forces on Odesa. Then the area was attacked with 19 Shahed drones and missiles, including two supersonic Onyx missiles.

Also in the south, in the Kherson region, four people were wounded in Russian attacks last night, Governor Oleksander Prokudin said.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, the city of Kryvyi Rih was hit by a ballistic missile, according to the first information provided early this morning by the head of the local military administration, Oleksandr Vilkul. He wrote via Telegram that there were no victims and that the city of Nikopol was also hit and that there were also no victims.
