Ukraine Daily Update | Day 640

Video Summary

I’m reporting on the latest events in Ukraine, where a massive drone strike on the capital of Kyiv was carried out by Russian forces, involving 75 drones targeting civilian infrastructure. The air alert lasted six hours, but Ukrainian air defense systems were successful in shooting down 74 of the drones, with only one remaining intact. Several civilians were injured, and a civilian house, a kindergarten, and several cars were damaged. The Russian force also used modified Iranian strike drones, painting them black in an attempt to evade Ukrainian mobile groups, but this tactic proved unsuccessful.

The Ukrainian air defense system was able to intercept 40% of the drones, and the rest were taken down by the country’s air defense systems. The Iranian-made Shahed 238 drone, equipped with an infrared guidance system, was used in the attack, but its black paint job did not provide the intended stealth advantage.

In other news, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, had to take shelter during the attack, and Russia suffered significant losses, with 860 troops killed, 18 artillery systems, and 29 cargo and fuel trucks destroyed. The Russian propagandist, Romanov, was also exposed for publishing forbidden information, prompting his colleagues to criticize him. Meanwhile, a school principal in the Russian city of Pana, Basena, is opposing the installation of memorial plates dedicated to students who died in Ukraine, with some schools having as many as seven or eight graduates who joined the army and died.
