The Iranian Shahed-136/131 drones entered Ukraine from Russia’s Bryansk Oblast into Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts, according to Air Force Command.
The attack lasted from 9:10 p.m. on March 30 to 1.30 a.m. on March 31.
In addition to the Shaheds, up to five other airborne targets, likely balloons, were spotted in Ukrainian airspace.
