Ukraine’s military said Monday that Russia attacked the country overnight with seven drones and three guided missiles.
The Ukrainian air force said air defenses shot down five of the drones, with all of the intercepts taking place over southern Ukraine’s Odesa region.
Oleh Kiper, the regional governor in Odesa, said on Telegram the aerial attacks damaged warehouse buildings and agricultural machinery among other things.
Kiper said there were no reported injuries.
The latest attack comes as the U.S. Senate is expected give its approval this week to legislation that includes $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.
The measure has already passed in the U.S. House of Representatives and has the support of President Joe Biden.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address Sunday that the package includes “items that our warriors on the front lines expect so much.”
Zelenskyy said the time between passage of the bill and the military aid getting into the hands of Ukrainian troops “must be as short as possible.”
