Russian forces continued to attack cities throughout Ukraine into Tuesday morning, according to local officials in the Vinnytsia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Ukraine’s southern air command reported that on Monday night and Tuesday morning, five Iranian-made “kamikaze” drones were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense forces in the Mykolaiv region, while three were shot down in the Odessa region.
