During the night, the enemy attacked Ukraine with 22 attack drones and air battles took place in Odesa, Sumy, Vinnytsia, and Mykolaiv regions.

According to the head of the Odesa Regional State Administration, Oleh Kiper, as a result of the air battle, downed unmanned aerial vehicles fell in two districts of the region.

In Odesa district, a Shahed crash damaged the roof and glazing of a residential building, a fence, and three nearby parked trucks.

In Rozdilnyansky district, several drones fell on an open area without igniting. No one was killed or injured.

In total, 15 drones were shot down over Ukraine overnight. Five more drones went missing, but the military has no information about any damage they caused.

On September 28, another air attack by the Russian occupiers in Odesa region damaged a recreation center. A missile caused a fire and partial destruction of the base building. Two cars parked nearby also burned down.

A day earlier, in the morning, the Russian military launched attack drones in the south of Odesa region. Izmail was hit the hardest. Some drones did cause damage - three people were killed in the attack: two women aged 90 and 69 and a 73-year-old man. Eleven people were injured, including one child. Prosecutors of the Izmail District Prosecutor's Office have launched a pre-trial investigation into the violation of the laws and customs of war that led to the death of civilians.

Earlier, the Russian military attacked a civilian ship in the Black Sea that was transporting wheat to Egypt.

On the night of September 12, Zmiinyi Island in the Odesa region again became a target for Russian invaders. Thus, two X-22/32 cruise missiles from Tu-22M3 aircraft were fired from the airspace over the Black Sea.

On the night of September 11, the Russian occupation forces fired six X-31P anti-radar missiles from tactical aircraft in the direction of Zmiyiny Island.

The day before, on the night of September 10, Russian forces also attacked Zmeinyi using an X-31 guided missile.
