Russia launched cruise missiles and drones at targets across Ukraine overnight, Ukraine's air force said Wednesday.
In a statement, the air force said 12 out of 20 missiles and drones fired by Russia were intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses.
Russia fired four Kalibr cruise missiles from the Black Sea in the direction of Odesa, three of which were shot down, it said. Ukrainian authorities said earlier that at least three people were killed and 13 others were wounded in the attack on the southern port city.
Russian forces also launched six Kh-22 air-launched cruise missiles from Tu-22M3 long-range bombers targeting Donetsk from Russia's Rostov region, according to Ukraine's air force.
The impact of those missiles is unclear at the moment.
Russia also launched 10 Iran-made attack drones on southeastern Ukraine, nine of which were shot down, the air force said.
"The Air Force, in cooperation with the air defense of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, destroyed 12 air targets during this night attack: three Kalibr cruise missiles and nine Iranian Shahed-136/131 attack drones," the air force statement said.
