Scale of the night attack

President Volodymyr Zelensky released data on the scale of the Russian strike that took place in the night of 27 October. According to him, the enemy used 16 ballistic missiles and over 280 unmanned aerial vehicles. Previously, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported the destruction of two ballistic missiles, but did not specify the total number of projectiles launched in the earlier report.

Enemy targets and consequences

The head of state emphasised that the main targets of the Russian strikes were energy facilities, logistics infrastructure, and urban structures. The massive attack resulted in fatalities and infrastructure damage, particularly in Kyiv.

Zelensky separately mentioned an incident that occurred the previous evening. Following a Russian strike on a university campus and the adjacent area, the number of casualties rose to 12. Among them were five students and staff members of the educational institution.

Strike on the South Bridge

The President stated that while emergency services were assisting the victims and dealing with the aftermath of the first strike, Russian forces again used ballistic missiles. Impacts were recorded, in particular, in Kyiv, where the South Bridge came under attack.

Problems with air defence supply

Volodymyr Zelensky drew attention to the intensification of Russian attacks on Ukrainian logistics. He linked Russia's ability to achieve its objectives with delays in supplying Ukraine with interceptor missiles for Patriot and NASAMS air defence systems.

The President emphasised that the timely supply of air defence equipment is of decisive importance for protecting Ukrainian cities and infrastructure from massive aerial attacks.
