Invasion of almost fifty kamikaze drones from three directions at once: Ukrainian Air Force tells how many Shahedin were shot down

Another attack by dozens of Shahed-type kamikaze drones on the territory of Ukraine from three launch areas at once

On the night of September 13, Russia carried out another massive terrorist attack with Shahed-131/136 attack drones – the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported how many enemy drones our air defense units managed to shoot down.

Thus, the enemy launched 44 Shahed kamikaze drones at Ukraine at night, while 32 of them were destroyed, or about 72.7% of the total number.

The vast majority of these kamikaze drones were aimed at the south of Odesa region, at the port infrastructure. According to the head of the Odesa regional military administration, Oleh Kiper, the kamikaze drone attack unfortunately damaged port and other civilian infrastructure, and seven people were reported injured.

At the same time, the Sumy Regional Military Administration noted that during the night attack, air defense units destroyed three enemy kamikaze drones of the Shahed-131/136 type.

It is also important to note that, as reported by the Ukrainian Air Force, the Russians again attacked with attack drones from three directions – the drones were launched from Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Cape Chauda and Kursk.

Defense Express reported on this threatening trend back in early August, when the occupiers also used three launch areas at once for Shahed during one of their attacks, although this number usually fluctuated between one and two.

It is also worth emphasizing that the enemy continues to focus its kamikaze drone attacks on Odesa region – for example, in five days of September, from September 3 to 8, Russia launched more than 130 drones in this area.
