On the night of August 6, 2024, Russian forces launched a massive missile strike on Ukraine.

This was stated by the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykola Oleshchuk.

The Russian forces used four Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles launched from the Voronezh region of Russia, two Kh-59 guided air missiles launched from the airspace over the Sea of Azov, and 16 Shahed-type strike drones that arrived from the directions of Cape Chauda (Crimea) and Kursk (Russia).

Ukraine's defense forces, including mobile fire groups, anti-aircraft missile forces, and electronic warfare units of the Air Force, repelled the large-scale air attack.

Thanks to the coordinated work of the defenders, two Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, two Kh-59 guided air missiles, and 15 strike drones were shot down in the Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions.
