Russian drones, missiles and shells target Ukrainian infrastructure

Russia has launched dozens of drone attacks and fired shells and missiles against civilian infrastructure, Ukraine reports. Kyiv said two dozen Russian drones and a missile were downed overnight as concern grows that Moscow is once again targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter. Officials in Kharkiv reported civilian targets were hit by shelling and drone attacks. The General Staff of Ukraine's military said Russian drones targeted several areas across Ukraine and were launched from Russia's Kursk region and the Primorsk-Akhtarsk area. "As a result of combat operations, in cooperation with the defence forces of Ukraine, 24 attack bpla'Shahed-136/131' [drones] and one controlled aviation missile were destroyed," the statement said, using the acronym for "bezpilotniy letayuschiy apparat", or "pilotless flying equipment".
