On Saturday, the enemy attacked Ukraine with six ballistic missiles and S-400 anti-aircraft guided missiles, as well as 151 attack UAVs; 135 enemy UAVs were shot down or neutralized; missile strikes and 13 attack UAVs were recorded at 12 locations, and debris from downed UAVs was found at seven locations, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
