Following a record 355-drone attack, Russia launched 60 drones on 27 May, targeting Ukraine’s infrastructure. Air defense intercepted 43 drones, but two civilians were injured in Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy suffered significant damage.

Over the past several days Russia has significantly escalated its combined drone and missile daily attacks against Ukraine. Despite a significant drop in the number of drones launched today—down from earlier waves that saw hundreds of drones launched in recent days often alongside dozens of missiles—Russia’s daily air attacks remain a serious threat to Ukrainian residential centers, targeting civilian infrastructure and neighborhoods. 

According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia launched 60 Shahed-type explosive drones and decoy UAVs targeting various regions of Ukraine overnight on 27 May. The attack began at 23:50 on 26 May, and continued through the morning.

Ukraine’s air defense system, which included aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups, successfully neutralized 43 of the attacking drones. Of these, 35 were downed by firepower, while 8 were lost due to electronic warfare suppression.

The Air Forces data suggest that at least 17 drones may have reached their intended targets.

Despite these efforts, Russian drones and the debris of downed UAVs caused damage in several regions.

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast hit with injuries and infrastructure damage

In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, two people were injured during the attack. Serhii Lysak, the head of the regional military administration, reported that drone strikes targeted agricultural enterprises, detached homes, and a vehicle in the Synelnykive district, specifically in the Mezhivska and Malomykhailivska communities. The attack injured a 54-year-old man, who was hospitalized in moderate condition. Another civilian man was injured in Samar district, according to the report.

Additionally, the Nikopol district was struck by artillery, FPV drones, and explosive devices dropped by drones. The communities of Nikopol, Marhanets, and Pokrovsk also suffered damage. The attacks resulted in the damage of a medical emergency vehicle and a car.

Five Russian drones were reportedly intercepted over Dnipropetrovsk.

Sumy Oblast faces damage to industry and residential areas

Russia also targeted Sumy City, where early morning drone strikes caused significant damage. According to the Sumy Regional Military Administration, around 1:30 AM, a drone strike set fire to an industrial building, causing damage to transport vehicles.

Later, at around 4:30 AM, another strike targeted residential buildings, damaging at least seven private houses and one two-story home. The strikes also caused damage to several cars. Fortunately, no casualties were reported in Sumy, the authorities said.
