In addition, two S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles were sent by the enemy from the Belgorod region to the Kharkov region. The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported this on January 18 in Telegram.
The main directions of impact are south and north. Ukrainian Air Force and Defense Force units managed to destroy 22 enemy drones. The military stressed that several more UAVs did not reach their targets.
