Ukraine said it shot down nine drones over the south of the country on Wednesday as Kyiv pressed the West for more air defenses in the wake of a barrage of Russian missiles and drones that knocked out energy infrastructure earlier this week.
The Iranian-made drones were shot down by Ukraine’s air defenses over the southern Mykolaiv region, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
On Monday, Russia unleashed 84 missiles on Ukraine, as well as drones, in one of the broadest attacks since the start of the war.
