The air force said the location of 30 other drones had been lost, while another had returned to Russia.

An overnight attack using guided aerial bombs on the eastern city of Kharkiv also injured two people and damaged windows in three apartment buildings, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said via the Telegram messaging app.

A drone attack on the northeastern region of Sumy damaged a gas station, regional authorities added.
