The Ukrainian military destroyed six drones over the southern region of Mykolaiv, its governor said. Debris from one of them destroyed a private home, and damaged about 10 more, but no casualties were reported, he added.
Four drones were shot down over the southern region of Kherson and four more over the central Dnipropetrovsk region, the regions' governors said.
The attack also targeted the northern region of Sumy, with no details of damage reported by regional authorities.
