Russia and Ukraine have been attacking each other with drones overnight, as Russian forces have increased the intensity of ground attacks.
In a statement, the Ukrainian Air Force said that on the night of March 28, Russia launched 163 drones of various types against Ukraine.
Of the 163 drones, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have shot down 89. According to them, 51 drones failed to reach their targets, likely as a result of electronic warfare countermeasures.
In the previous 24 hours, Russian troops have carried out massive shelling and air strikes on the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson and several settlements in the region, Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the regional military administration, said on March 28.
Kherson has been at the epicenter of the fighting, as the city is located on the front line, causing residents to live under the constant threat of drone and artillery attacks.
Three people have reportedly been killed and 12 others injured during recent shelling in Kherson.
Meanwhile, in Russia, the cities of Saratov and Engels were targeted in overnight attacks on March 28. Local residents reported several explosions, according to Russian channels on Telegram.
The Saratov region has repeatedly been the target of Ukrainian drone attacks, particularly because a major military base is located near the city of Engels.
In total, the Russian Defense Ministry reported shooting down 78 Ukrainian drones during the first hours of March 28.
As the United States continues diplomatic efforts to bring peace to Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army General Staff said on March 28 that Russian troops have intensified their activity on the ground, reporting 209 clashes in the past 24 hours.
The largest number of Russian attacks was recorded in the direction of the strategic city of Pokrovsk, in eastern Ukraine, Kiev's military said./ REL (A2 Televizion)
