Drones were launched from Primorsk-Akhtarsk and Kursk in Russia and from temporarily occupied Crimea.
Mobile fire groups, electronic warfare units, anti-aircraft missile units, and Air Force fighter jets were involved in the operation.
Drones were destroyed over six Ukrainian oblasts: Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Donetsk, Sumy, and Odesa.
The Ukrainian Navy also reported the destruction of four enemy kamikaze drones over Mykolaiv Oblast during the night.
Air raid sirens were heard in many Ukrainian oblasts overnight on May 22 as Ukrainians were warned of a Russian drone attack.
Explosions were reported in the Sumy and Poltava oblasts.
A Russian drone attack on the power grid in Sumy caused significant power outages.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
