Widespread wave of attacks using Iranian UAVs across Ukraine

Over the past 24 hours, intense aerial activity by Russian forces was reported over Ukrainian territory. According to the єРадар Telegram channel, which specializes in monitoring air raid alerts and reporting missile threats, waves of "Shahed" UAV attacks were recorded in several regions simultaneously.

The activity focused primarily on the Chernihiv, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, Poltava, and Mykolaiv regions. According to єРадар, not only "Shahed" UAVs were identified in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, but also the use of more advanced models known as "Shahed 238". In addition, the detection of a large number of "translators" (relay transmitters) was reported, indicating attempts to disrupt communication and navigation systems in these areas.

In a further report by the ОПЕРАТИВНИЙ ІНФОРМ channel, which deals with operational reports from the field, it was noted that "2 реактивних Шахедів" (two jet-powered Shahed UAVs) were identified in the Chernihiv region, moving toward the Ripky sector. According to єРадар, the alert level was also raised in the Vyshhorod district following the identification of a "керований БпЛА" (controlled UAV) near Slavutych.

These sources, which are identified with real-time alert monitoring for the Ukrainian public, emphasize the intensive use of unmanned aerial vehicles with varying ranges in an attempt to harass air defense and damage rear-guard infrastructure. No data on specific damages or casualties were published in these reports.
