Since Sunday evening, 37 kamikaze drones, which were used by Russia to attack Ukraine, have been destroyed.

Source: Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, at a briefing in the Ukraine media centre, and on air during the joint 24/7 national newscast 

Quote by Ihnat: "43 [drones], all flew from the south; 37 were destroyed. All forces and resources, aircraft and anti-aircraft missile systems and other defence forces were involved. At least 86% [of the downed UAVs] are the destroyed Shaheds. This is a pretty good result.

Let the military do their job. You don't need to shoot [the drones] from the window, because bullets in densely populated cities [may] then bounce back on people's heads."

Details: Currently, it’s the second time on October 17 that an air-raid siren was sounded almost all over Ukraine. Russia has been sending in waves of Iranian-made drones.
