KYIV (Reuters) - Ukrainian air defences downed 33 of 50 drones launched by Russia overnight, the air force said on Friday.
It said 9 drones were "lost", in reference to Ukraine's use of electronic warfare to redirect Russian drones, while one left Ukraine in the direction of Romania.
"Hostile attack drones hit enterprises in Odesa region, and buildings of institutions, private businesses and households in Kharkiv, Cherkasy and Kyiv regions were damaged as a result of the fall of downed enemy drones," the military said on the Telegram messaging app.
Port infrastructure in the Danube region came under attack, they added.
A Kyiv regional official said one child was wounded as a result of falling debris from downed targets during an attack.
