Air raid alerts rang out across Ukraine as a massive swarm of attack drones crossed the Russian border shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time. At least one Ukrainian air alert tracker reported roughly 200 Shahed-type drones in Ukrainian airspace. Ukraine's Air Force warned shortly before noon that drones were heading toward Kyiv from the north, around the time air raid sirens sounded across the capital. Explosions from air defense activity were heard shortly afterward. A significant number of the drones appeared to be heading farther south and west toward the central Ukrainian city of Khmelnytskyi. Khmelnytskyi Oblast Military Governor Serhii Tiurin wrote on Telegram that air defenses were operating in the region and reported that two people had been injured.
