For reference:

Since the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation, shelling of Ukrainian cities and villages has become a daily reality, causing significant destruction and threats to the civilian population.

Russian forces use a wide range of weapons, including missiles, guided aerial bombs, and kamikaze drones, in particular, of Iranian production. Recently, the frequency of drone attacks, which are carried out almost every night, has increased significantly.

On the night of October 28, there were explosions in Kharkiv, with hits being reported near a 9-story residential building, resulting in casualties.

During the night, Russian soldiers launched an attack on energy facilities that are crucial to the Konotop district in the Sumy region. They used Shahed drones. This resulted in two people being injured in Zaporizhzhia due to the enemy's drone attack.

Overall, on the night of October 28, the Russian army launched a total of 100 Shahed attack drones and other unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles to attack Ukraine. By 10:30 a.m., 66 of these enemy drones had been successfully destroyed.

As President Volodymyr Zelensky reported, the Russian occupiers used more than 1,100 guided air bombs, more than 560 attack drones, and about 20 missiles of various types against Ukrainians in a week.
