KYIV (Reuters) : Two people were killed after Russian forces sent dozens of attack drones over Ukraine in an overnight air strike, Ukrainian authorities said on Wednesday.
The Ukraine air force said that 32 of 46 Iranian-made drones deployed by Russia had been shot down. Most of the rest struck near the front line, mainly in the southern Kherson region.
The governor of Ukraine’s Odesa region said that a 35-year-old man was killed by debris from a downed drone in a residential area. Another man died in the hospital from his injuries.
Four others including a 17-year-old boy were wounded, according to the governor, Oleh Kiper.
There were no other immediate reports of casualties. The air force said the military had shot down drones over parts of central, southern and western Ukraine.
Russia has carried out a campaign of regular air strikes on population centres far behind the front line of its nearly two-year-old war in Ukraine.
Ukraine’s interior ministry also reported a separate fatality from overnight shelling of Kherson city.
