Ukraine says it downed two Russian missiles and four drones overnight
KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's air force said on Thursday that it shot down two out of four missiles and all four drones launched by Russia during an overnight attack.
Russia launched two Kh-59 missiles, successfully downed by Ukraine, and two ballistic Iskander-M missiles, according to the report.
The Iskander missiles targeted the northeastern Kharkiv region, the military said. Governor Oleh Syniehubov had not provided a report on the aftermath of the attack as of Thursday morning.
Dnipropetrovsk's Governor Serhiy Lysak said air defences had destroyed a missile over his region in central Ukraine. After various overnight Russian attacks there, the governor said that a 12-year-old boy was injured and two homes were damaged.
Kirovohrad's Governor Andriy Raykovych said no damage had been reported after air defences worked in the central region.
