29 November 2023, 12:55 PM

Russia targeted Khmelnytskyi Oblast with drones on the evening of Nov. 28, Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat stated during a telethon on Nov. 29.

"Most drones were again aimed at Khmelnytskyi, as we know there is a military airfield in Starokostiantyniv,” Ihnat stated.

“The enemy has chosen this target and consistently tries to penetrate the site with attack UAVs.”

Drones are being destroyed along the way.

"We have published the areas where UAVs have been destroyed—this is the southern part of the country, central regions, and also Khmelnytskyi accordingly.”

These are attacks are typical, unlike the Nov. 25 attack on Kyiv.

Air raid alerts were announced in many regions of Ukraine on the evening on Nov. 28 due to the threat of strikes by Russian drones.

Air defense destroyed 21 UAVs and two X-59 missiles.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
