Beyond Kiev, the Air Force tracked a jet-propelled Russian drone on an inbound path toward Lutsk in the Volhyn region and subsequently confirmed it had passed directly overhead.

Separate flight paths placed additional drones on course for Ovruch in Zhytomyr region and Desna in Chernihiv region.

with one of those paths cutting through the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Drone activity heading toward the Rivne region was also recorded.

Now, there were some power outages during the day, and last night, Ukraine's energy ministry said emergency power outages had been introduced in the capital city and the wider Kyiv Oblast, as well as in Chernihiv and Zhytomyr Oblasts following repeated Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.

Last night, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said, "Since the summer, there's been practically no day when the enemy has not attacked energy infrastructure.

But such a massive and combined attack has occurred for the first time since the end of the last heating season." Now Ukraine's Air Force said that between 6:30 AM and 6:30 PM local time yesterday, Wednesday, Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 254 of 285 drones, including a Geran-4 over Rivne in western Ukraine, which viewers on our YouTube channel can see now.
