Kyiv: Ukrainian forces announced on Tuesday that they had shot down nine Russian drones and that 31 Russian-launched aircrafts disappeared from radar.

According to Qatar News Agency, nine drones were shot down in eastern and northern Ukraine, and another 31 fake drones disappeared from radar screens without any consequences.

The Russian military operation in Ukraine has been ongoing since Feb. 2022 with no signs of a halt, given the significant divergence in the positions of the two warring parties and the involvement of other international actors in the crisis.
