   Ukraine's military said Tuesday it shot down 36 of the 60 drones that
   Russian forces deployed in overnight attacks.

   The intercepts took place in the Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv,
   Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, Poltava, Sumy and Zaporizhzhia regions, Ukraine's
   air force said.

   Serhiy Lysak, governor of Dnipropetrovsk, said on Telegram that the
   drone attacks and Russian shelling damaged several homes and a power
   line.

   In Khmelnytskyi in western Ukraine, Governor Serhii Tiurin reported the
   Russian attack damaged several homes.

   Officials in the Sumy region in northeastern Ukraine said a farm
   building was damaged there.

   Russia's Defense Ministry said Tuesday its air defenses destroyed four
   Ukrainian aerial drones, including three over the Rostov region and one
   over Voronezh.

   Both Rostov and Voronezh are located along the Russia-Ukraine border
   and are frequent targets of Ukrainian drones.

   The governors of Rostov and Voronezh each said on Telegram there were
   no reports of damage or casualties as a result of the Ukrainian
   attacks.
